Interested in becoming a member of the HHS Board of Directors? The Board seeks major law firm experience. One of the key objectives of any healthcare system is to provide access to patients and clients where they need it ... closer to home. Promoting better outcomes and better access are two of the cornerstones of Halton Healthcare Services. Chocolate Sales The Georgetown Hospital Volunteer Association would like to thank everyone who supported the Valentine's Day Chocolate sale. Don't forget that Easter is just around the corner! The Easter Chocolate Sale takes place on Thursday, April 1 from 9:00-3:00 in the Boardroom. Coming Soon Georgetown Hospital Volunteers will be at the Georgetown Marketplace from May 6 to 21 selling Halton Hills Fireworks Festival (formerly Bang-o-rama) vouchers for Children's all day rides. Vouchers are only $17.00 when you buy them in advance of the event ­ a savings of $9.00 per child from the gate price. Vouchers will also be available in the Hospital Gift Shop. As an incumbent Director completes his term, the Board is seeking to welcome a new member to the table. In keeping with the organization's mission of providing healthcare closer to home, the new Director will reside or work in the Halton Region. Most likely a senior lawyer with a major legal firm, the new Director will have a sound knowledge of business and corporate finance matters, extensive knowledge of, and experience in corporate governance, and not-forprofit board experience. Exposure to the healthcare sector and an understanding of the relationship between the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and LHINs would be decided assets. Availability and passion for the vision of better healthcare are essential.
