Medavie has announced the appointment of former PEI premier Robert Ghiz to its board of directors.
“Robert’s extensive experience in public sector leadership roles will be an immense asset to our board of directors,” chair of Medavie’s board of directors Michael Decter said in a release. “His depth of knowledge of the healthcare field and particularly his proven leadership in enhancing provincial health systems will be instrumental in advancing our vision of being a transformative health company.”
Ghiz was the 31st premier of Prince Edward Island from 2007 to 2015 and is currently a senior business advisor at Gowling WLG.
