Two weeks ago, the Sunrisers welcomed David McNeil, President and Chief Executive Officer at Health Sciences North (HSN). A Sudbury native, David most recently served as the President of Brant Community Healthcare System. Prior to this role, he was the Chief Nursing Executive and Senior Vice President Patient Services and Digital Transformation at HSN and was instrumental in helping shape the hospital over the course of his career. 
 
HSN is a regional services provider and an important asset in Northern Ontario. David highlighted both the successes and challenges at HSN, including its world class Cancer Centre, achieving the highest accreditation standards from Accreditation Canada, its financial impact to the local economy as the number one employer and occupancy and wait time challenges related to access to Long-Term Care. David noted that some of the specialized services offered by HSN are unique to Ontario, and even Canada.
