With Laura Lee Barrie’s impending Winter 2025 retirement, I am pleased to announce the appointment of John Ross as the Director, Surgical & Ambulatory Services, beginning in 2025.
Reporting to myself, John will be responsible for optimal patient care and the delivery of high quality service within the Surgical & Ambulatory Services portfolio.
In his role John will work to advance Strategic Plan 2026 priorities, including Seamless Transitions and Evolution of PFCC, while managing a busy and complex portfolio.
John is well known to the staff and professional staff at TBRHSC as the current Director, Patient Flow & Partnerships, a role he has held since 2018. In 2020, John was appointed the Planning Head on the hospitals COVID-19 Incident Management Team and later led the IPAC and Situation Unit. In John’s current role, he has implemented multiple initiatives to improve patient flow and help patients receive the right care, at the right time.
Within our institution prior to his role as Director, Patient Flow & Partnerships, John started as an RN in the Emergency Department (ED) and then advanced through various leadership roles such as the ED Charge Nurse, ED Quality Nursing Clinical Coordinator, Corporate Patient Flow Manager and ED Manager.
Please join me in congratulating John and wishing him well in this new role.
