I am pleased to announce that Cassidy Tackacs has accepted a contract position as Physician Retention and Relations Specialist covering for Samantha Olsen during her leave. 

Cassidy most recently worked as a Human Resources Officer – Recruiter at Dilico Anishinabek Family Care and is a graduate of Lakehead University with an Honours Bachelor of Commerce (Marketing and Human Resources Management).  She brings with her experience in full cycle recruitment and retention activities and exceptional administrative skills. We are thrilled to welcome her to our Medical and Academic Affairs portfolio where she will work alongside Laurel Knowles, Physican Recruitment Specialist and Dr. William Harris as he transitions to the role of Associate Vice President, Physician Recruitment and Retention.

Cassidy begins on Monday, May 12, 2025. Some of her early priorities will be updating and strengthening our physician orientation processes and follow up, and continuing to expand retention activities in a strategic way. She will continue to support physician payment processes as well and we hope to lean into her marketing background to continue improving our communication opportunities. 

Please join us in welcoming Cassidy to our team!
