Guy Lévesque has been appointed by Manitoba Health as the new Board Chair of South Eastman Health/Santé Sud-Est (SEH/SSE). Lévesque begins his new term as Board Chair on April 1, 2011.
Lévesque is a long-time resident of the Town of Ste. Anne where he served as Chief Administrative Officer for over 26 years. He is married and has two children who currently work in healthcare. He is also a proud grandfather of four.
“I am thrilled to be joining a dynamic and forward thinking Board of Directors,” says Lévesque. “I have often admired the health system in southeastman for its dedication to patient safety and quality of care. Treating people with care and respect will be an important priority for me as new Board Chair.”
During his time as Chief Administrative Officer, he collaborated with government and community stakeholders to improve the healthcare system in his own town of Ste. Anne. However, Lévesque readily and whole-heartedly accepts his new responsibility and role of approaching healthcare from a regional perspective.
Lévesque plans to go on a regional tour to better understand the healthcare needs of other districts in southeastman, meet with staff and other key stakeholders of the RHA following his orientation.
Lévesque replaces outgoing, retired Chairman Aurèle Boisvert, from the R.M. of Ste. Anne, who is ending his term on March 31st, 2011.
