As part of the organization’s structure and strategic alignment, the majority of clinical patient facing programs have been streamlined under the Patient Experience portfolio. As such, Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC) and Ontario Health are pleased to announce the appointment of Adam Vinet, Executive Vice President, Patient Experience and Chief Nursing Executive, to the position of Vice-President, Cancer Care Services, North West Region.
In this role, Adam will work collaboratively with regional partners to champion and influence system transformation to ensure patients in our region receive high quality cancer care. He will also represent Regional Cancer Care Northwest at Ontario Health’s Provincial Leadership Council.
Adam initially worked on the frontlines as a Registered Nurse in the Emergency Department and has progressed through multiple leadership roles that included Quality Nursing Clinical Coordinator and Emergency Department Manager. Through progressive leadership roles, Adam has provided leadership in interprofessional change process within the Emergency Department, where wait time performance and ambulance offload delay methodologies received Provincial recognition at the Nursing Leadership Network Conference. Upon moving to the Director of Surgery and Ambulatory Services, Adam led and influenced the team to redesign the Fracture Clinic resulting in a reduction of patient wait times from four hours to one hour. As part of Ontario Health, Adam was Vice President, Home and Community Care and worked at a system level to guide and support Northwestern Ontario’s home care sector to be a provincial leader with respect to wait times for initial assessments and reassessment for new and existing home care patients.
Please join us in welcoming Adam to this leadership role. We look forward to being part of his success and commitment to ensuring patients throughout Northwestern Ontario continue to receive high-quality cancer care closer to home.
