The Cypress Health Region has named Interim CEO Beth Vachon their new permanent Chief Executive Officer at their regular board meeting on Wednesday.

Vachon had been Interim CEO since last spring following the departure of former CEO Jim Hornell, who left the Health Region for a similar position in Brantford, Ontario.

 

Health Board Chairman Tyler Bragg says Vachon's time as Interim CEO was basically an "eight-month interview", and adds it was an easy decision for the board to offer her the permanent position.

 

 

Vachon says she will continue in the direction she has steered the Health Region in over the last eight months, but will also look toward the future.

 

 

Vachon will start in her new position immediately.
