Dolman IHA tenure ends

by Malcolm Petch - Nov 17, 2007 Castanet

Alan Dolman will run his final meeting as Chair of the Interior Health Board Wednesday in Penticton. The board meets in different communities across the Health Authority (Kamloops, Cranbrook, Vernon, Nelson and Williams Lake) as part of its mandate to being open and transparent in its operations. The public is free to take in all or portions of the meetings. On the agenda in Penticton are items such as a presentation on the recruitment and retention of rural physicians, an update on South Okanagan health services, and various committee reports. The full agenda is available on the IHA website. Dolman has been with the board for six years and has seen a number of important developments cross his desk in that time, including the $191 million expansion of KGH announced this past May. As well as this being the last meeting for Dolman, it will also be the fist meeting for new board member Norman Embree. This regular Board meeting will be held November 21 in the Multipurpose Room at the Penticton Health Centre, 740 Carmi Avenue.
