Regional Program Co-Leaders Program Management at Horizon Every day, we are working on solutions to improve your experience, thanks to feedback we receive from our patients, clients and their families. We are taking an important step toward improved management of Horizon-wide programs by adjusting our leadership and organizational structure of clinical departments. This is improving collaboration, increasing consistency and improving the patient experience, flow and access across Horizon. Whether you are having surgery in Saint John or Miramichi, receiving addiction or mental health support in Fredericton or Sackville, visiting an Emergency Department in Moncton or Waterville, our goal is to provide you with the same level of care with services that are truly collaborative, coordinated, and accessible. To support these efforts, each program has co-leaders: an Executive Regional Director, Co-Leader – 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. an Executive Clinical/Academic Department Head, Co-Leader – 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.
