I am pleased to share that effective August 9th, Adam Vinet will be returning to Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC) as our Executive Vice President (EVP), Patient Experience and Chief Nursing Executive (CNE).
Many of you are already familiar with Adam as he previously served at TBRHSC as Director of Surgery and the Manager of Emergency / Trauma. In fact, he began his career here as a frontline nurse, a Charge Nurse in our Emergency Department and later as a Quality Practice Coordinator. Adam is currently the Vice President, Home and Community Care at Home and Community Support Services, a position he has held since 2018. Adam has also been the Senior Director of Home and Community Care at the North West LHIN.

- Surgical and Ambulatory Services
- Regional Surgical Services
- Trauma Program, Critical Care, Emergency, Respiratory Services, and Nurse Led Outreach Team

As a dyad leader, the EVP, In-Patient Care Programs (Dr. Peter Voros) will share patient care leadership and will oversee the following programs:

I would like to extend a sincere thank you to Meaghan Sharp who has been the Chief Nursing Executive for the past year, and Amanda Björn and Dr. Peter Voros for providing interim executive leadership across patient care portfolios.
Please join me in welcoming Adam to this role and back to TBRHSC.
