Our health care system is important to us all as New Brunswickers, and we value the high quality, accessible health care that meets our growing needs. The challenge for decision-makers will be providing excellent service delivery while balancing this with increasing demands on the system, and limited financial resources. The pressures on the Canadian Health Care System are greater than ever. These are times to be creative and look for fresh ideas. I am looking forward to working with administration, health care professionals, the community, and government to help Horizon Health move forward as a leader and an exemplar. I am honoured to serve on the Horizon regional health authority board.
