Pat, we hardly knew you.
A year after being appointed OHA CEO and President, Pat Campbell has mysteriously disappeared from the OHA.
In a remarkably short announcement June 12, the OHA notes that its Board of Directors has appointed former Mike Harris aide Anthony Dale as their interim President and CEO effective immediately.
It has been a rocky road for Campbell.
This spring she looked less than stellar in responding to the CBC’s Rate My Hospital program.
The same month former OHA CEO Tom Closson publicly disagreed with her interpretation of the Quality of Care Information Act after the Humber River Regional Hospital mistakenly declared a newborn baby dead and claimed the results of their investigation had to be kept secret.
In May the OHA was uncharacteristically snippy about the provincial budget, complaining both about the lack of planning and the refusal of the Wynne government to rig the arbitration process in favour of the hospitals.
