Changes at the North East LHIN

After seven years at the North East Local Health Integration Network (NE LHIN), Louise Paquette will be leaving the organization at the end of June 2017.

A passionate northerner and exceptional leader, Louise has worked diligently with health service providers, community partners, and Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care officials, in an effort to improve the patient experience across northeastern Ontario.

“It’s been a privilege to work with such a positive and enthusiastic group of people. Northerners are very fortunate to have the exceptional talent at the LHIN – talent that is helping to improve the patient experience by building a better system,” said Louise. “But now it’s time for me to move on.”

“Louise has been particularly effective at mobilizing people towards a common vision. Thanks to her hard work, the NE LHIN is well positioned as we move forward with the implementation of Patients First and the transformational changes ahead,” said Ron Farrell, board chair of the NE LHIN.

Kate Fyfe will assume the responsibilities of the CEO while the board begins the recruitment process.
