“We are delighted to welcome Guy Chartrand as president and CEO,” said John Riddle, board chair. “He is a seasoned leader who has achieved success leading several community hospitals in Ontario.

John added “The board of directors would like to thank Daniel Levac, current president and CEO, for his strong leadership at Bruyère over the last 10 years. Daniel has been pivotal in ensuring organizational stability for Bruyère, building new partnerships and leading the creation of the Bruyère Village, an affordable seniors’ community in Orléans. We wish him the best in his well-deserved retirement.”

It is an honour and a privilege to take on this new leadership role as the head of such a great academic organization, leading in the areas of seniors care, rehabilitation, complex care and palliative care. I am committed to honouring Bruyère’s rich traditions and helping the most vulnerable and medically complex in the Champlain region. I am looking forward to this new opportunity and to getting to know all of you.”
