We are pleased to introduce Sanjil Shah and Dr. Lynn Wilson as new Board Members of SHN’s Board of Directors. The announcement came following the hospital’s 2023 Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on Thursday, June 1, at Birchmount Hospital.
“This is an incredible time to be at SHN, and we remain steadfast in attracting and retaining exceptional talent—from our frontline staff and physicians, to our Board of Directors”, said Matt Ainley, Board Chair.
“I am thrilled to officially welcome Sanjil Shah and Dr. Lynn Wilson to our Board. I look forward to working with our team of exceptional leaders as we continue to shape the future of care in Scarborough.”
SHN has several transformational projects underway that will have a significant impact on exceptional quality care, health system integration, training the next generation of health professionals, and charting the course to create a healthier community. The 2023-2024 Board of Directors is looking forward to a momentous year ahead. The next Board meeting will take place in the fall and details will be shared on SHN.ca and on social media.
On behalf of the Board of Directors at SHN, we would also like to thank our departing Board member, Krishan Suntharalingam, for his expertise and contributions to SHN and the Scarborough community over the last few years. We wish you well!
