Four new faces from Northumberland Hills Hospital are joining the community.
At NHH’s latest meeting, the board of directors welcomed four Community Members that will play a vital role in gathering input for succession planning.
NHH says this follows after they launched an initiative to attract potential volunteers. The response was substantial, much like the previous year.
After conducting interviews, the NHH Board of Directors selected Laina Andrews, Mary-Ann Cocchetto, Randall Freeborn, and Carol Anne Bell-Smith as the newest Community Members. Their orientation was completed over the summer, with the October meeting marking their first full Board meeting.
Elizabeth Selby, NHH Board Chair, expressed her delight in welcoming these new members, highlighting that they join the largest team of Community Member representatives in the NHH Board’s history. She emphasized the importance of diverse teams in decision-making and commended each Community Member for their unique strengths and their commitment to supporting NHH’s quality and growth.
