Former CAMH executive Tracey MacArthur will take over as president and CEO of Hamilton Health Sciences on April 15, 2024.A new president set to take over at Hamilton’s top hospital network admits recruitment of new health-care professionals will be ‘a big priority’ at the beginning of her term as continuing patient pressures linger as a residual of the pandemic.
In January, HHS had an average of 2,039 visits per week to adult emergency departments, up from the 1,870 reported in January 2023. In addition to out-of-region recruitment, MacArthur says encouraging the development of future doctors and nurses through partnerships with local learning facilities is something they hope to get some supplementary help to ease the occupancy rates.
