Credentialed Staff Association Executive (elected)
The Public Hospitals Act requires the hospital by-laws to set the procedures for the organization of a Credentialed Staff Association and for the annual election of a President, Vice President and Secretary of the Credentialed Staff as well as the duties of these officers. The Credentialed Staff Association represents the interests of the Credentialed Staff at our organization. The Credentialed Staff Association is not a physician's union and cannot support individual grievances however is the voice of the professional staff to the hospital on important matters.
