My name is Vickie Kaminski and I am delighted to join Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare on an interim basis while recruitment continues for a permanent President & CEO following the retirement of Natalie Bubela at the end of 2021.
The opportunity to come to Muskoka and be MAHC’s interim President & CEO for a short time was very appealing to me for a number of reasons. MAHC has a great reputation in the province for high-quality health care, and in my first few weeks with MAHC it was easy to see why.
The MAHC team is a strong workforce – a group of staff, physicians and volunteers who are proud to live the MAHC values of accountability, respect, optimism, leadership and engagement every day. They are committed to MAHC’s mission to work together to provide outstanding integrated health care to our communities and deliver best patient outcomes with exemplary care and compassion.
A little about me… professionally I trained as a nurse and completed a Masters of Business Administration in international business. I have been fortunate to work in hospitals and other health care settings since 1975. While the majority of my career was spent in Ontario, I have been very fortunate to have also lived and worked in St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador; Edmonton, Alberta; Adelaide in South Australia; and most recently in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Returning to Sudbury and Ontario makes me feel like I am home again. Coming to Muskoka to steer the MAHC ship until a successor can be named is a privilege. For the time I am here at MAHC, you can count on a continued robust response to the COVID-19 pandemic in unprecedented times, steadfast efforts to maintain the organization’s overall financial stability, and ongoing work with partners to better integrate care in the region.
On a personal note, my husband and I look forward to having our seven kids and our grandkids when they can, so they too can enjoy all the amenities on offer here.
I am excited to start a new chapter in the CEO Blog, and encourage you to keep up with everything we do by frequenting our website and following our Facebook and Twitter social channels @MAHCHospitals.
Stay safe and well,
Vickie Kaminski
Interim President & CEO
