It is with mixed emotions that I announce Deb MacCabe’s retirement, effective June 4th, 2021.
Deb has always been a quiet and reserved person who requested not to have anything formal to announce her retirement, but me being me, I could not allow this without sharing a few thoughts.
Over the past 20 years, Deb has held many leadership positions here at our Hospital. In 2002, Deb was recruited to help merge two emergency departments into one where she eventually became Manager. Other positions and programs that Deb has been involved with include Administration Coordinator, Manager of 2B Medicine, and finally Manager of CCDC and Bariatrics.
There are many people in leadership positions here at our Hospital, that at some time or another, reported directly to Deb. Most would agree that one of Deb’s greatest attributes was the support she showed for her staff no matter the circumstances. Deb and I had many “what were you thinking” type of meetings that she turned into a learning opportunity on how I could improve. I’ll be forever grateful for these lessons.
Please join me in wishing Deb, and her husband Gord, a happy and well-deserved retirement.
