What is the Expanding Role of the Private Sector in Ontario's Health Care System?

Proponents suggest that only a new infusion of resources and innovation from the private sector can sustain the system into the future. Critics argue that increased private sector involvement may actually make the system more expensive, thretening accessibility and quality.

What's your view? Join us for this interesting and though provoking discussion on the future of Ontario's health care system.

Murray McKenzie, North York General Hospital CEO,
Announces Retirement

On February 13, Murray McKenzie (Class of 1974), President and CEO of North York General Hospital, announced that he is retiring effective June 30, 2002. After more than 25 years of contributing to the health care system in Canada, Mr. MacKenzie announced that he would be pursuing opportunities to contribute to health care services overseas. "I've had a life-long dream of making a contribution in the developing world and I know that unless I act now this may never happen."

Mr. MacKenzie is Chairman of the Cardiac Care Network of Ontario, past Chairman of the Ontario Hospital Association and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation at the University of Toronto. He also served on the boards of several health-related organizations including: Cancer Care Ontario, Regional Geriatric Program of Metropolitan Toronto, and the Canadian Cancer Society.

We look forward to continuing to work with him in his new international role.
