VJH boss moves on

105.7 KISSFM Pete McIntyre:

The administrator of Vernon Jubilee Hospital says he's not leaving the position out of frustration with overcrowding. Peter Du Toit has accepted a new job with Interior Health as the director of human resources for the Okanagan, starting in January, in Kelowna. Du Toit has been the hospital's administrative boss the last four years. "I've thoroughly enjoyed working with the folks at Vernon Jubilee. It's a very special group and that's why I'm kind of glad that I still will have the opportunity to work with them but just in a different role." Some members of the medical staff suggest Du Toit and another top administrator are leaving because they're fed up with the regular overcrowding. However, the native of South Africa denies that and says he's just ready for a new challenge. Du Toit says Interior Health has not finalized the person that will take over at VJH, saying the applicants are currently being interviewed.
