A board member is expected to commit the time required to perform Board and committee duties. The Board meets approximately eight times a year, directors are also expected to serve on at least one standing committee. Committees generally meet monthly.
Diversity is Our Strength
At Lakeridge Health, we believe that diversity makes us stronger. Our Board is committed to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and respected. We actively encourage individuals from historically under-represented groups to apply, as we work to create an accessible, anti-racist, and welcoming health-care system for all.
