Regional Program Co-Leaders

Program Management at Horizon

As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care, we are implementing a Program Management model organization-wide, effective April 1.

This dyad model involves combined oversight from clinical and administrative leaders and has already been successfully implemented in key areas including Emergency Medicine, Surgery, Addiction and Mental Health, and Primary Care.

By implementing Program Management in all areas, we will have a comprehensive, centralized oversight structure in place, leading to consistency and standardization of clinical services, greater collaboration among teams and effective alignment of organization-wide priorities.

Our Programs

  • Addiction and Mental Health
  • Cancer and Renal Care
  • Cardiac Care
  • Community Health
  • Emergency Medicine and Critical Care
  • Medicine and Neurosciences
  • Operations, Patient Flow and Ambulatory Care
  • Primary Care
  • Seniors Health
  • Surgery
  • Women and Children’s Health

To support these efforts, each program has co-leaders:

  1. a Clinical Executive Director – who is responsible for the operational planning, management, and leadership of the regional program while ensuring the best use of resources to provide quality patient care that meets established standards across all health zones.
  2. a Physician Program Lead – who oversees daily operations of the regional program in all Horizon facilities relating to the quality of medical care, professional development, and medical staff issues according to by-laws, regulations, and policies.
