Shared on behalf of Chad Johnson, Director, Pre-hospital Program, Emergency, and Critical Care Services
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Tiana Veal as Manager of Critical Care and Respiratory Services, effective May 4, 2026.
Tiana brings over a decade of critical care experience within our organization, with a strong track record in clinical leadership, operations, and quality improvement. Since November 2025, she has served as Acting Manager, providing effective leadership during periods of sustained high acuity.
Her background includes extensive frontline experience as an ICU Registered Nurse and Charge Nurse, along with key roles on the Medical Emergency Team and the Regional Critical Care Response Program. Tiana has also been instrumental in the development and implementation of our extracorporeal life support (ECMO) program, including advancing a “cannulate and transport” model, building interprofessional education, and establishing clinical guidelines to support this specialized service.
Tiana is well regarded for her collaborative leadership style, strong clinical judgment, and commitment to patient and family-centred care. She leads with a focus on accountability, continuous improvement, and supporting teams to deliver high-quality care in complex environments.
Please join me in congratulating Tiana on her appointment and in supporting her in this role.
