New Northern Health portfolio head will be a familiar face
The new Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) just announced who’ll be responsible for Prince Albert and the north.
Andrew McLetchie, current CEO of the Mamawetan Churchill Health Region based in La Ronge, will soon be based in P.A.
As that health region and the 11 others in Saskatchewan formally amalgamate into one new single provincial authority next week, McLetchie has been named vice president of the portfolio to be known as Integrated Northern Health. There will be two other portfolios looking after urban and rural areas across the province, but the North is seen as a key and equal part of the picture, and the senior leadership is eager to stress that.
McLetchie was not immediately available for comment, but the SHA’s CEO Scott Livingstone told paNOW the new appointee has been a CEO since 2011 and has a background in nursing and health administration in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Ontario, and Ireland.
