A Holiday Message from Kathy MacNeil, President & CEO

Posted on: December 20, 2023

Happy Holidays from Island Health on Vimeo.

As the year draws to a close, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to each of you.

Throughout this past year, I have been inspired by your strength, kindness, and unwavering dedication to providing the best possible care to our patients, residents, and clients. Your commitment has made a difference to your colleagues and those you serve.

I would also like to extend a special thank you to those who will be working throughout the holidays. The delivery of health care services occurs around the clock, every day of the year and relies on your dedication and willingness to serve. I am grateful for all you do.

Please enjoy the accompanying holiday video with a message of appreciation to the Island Health family. It highlights some of the staff, medical staff and volunteers who contribute to and deliver care across our region – including Port Hardy, Campbell River, Comox, Cumberland, Port Alberni, Nanaimo, Duncan and Victoria. We are truly a diverse organization across different geographies and professions. Reflecting on your contributions as individuals and teams, I feel honoured to be working alongside you.

Thank you for your dedication, partnership, and service this year. As we look forward to the new year, I wish you all a safe, happy, and healthy holiday season filled with moments of joy and peace.
