There has been a change in leadership at Bethesda Regional Health Centre in Steinbach.

Lisa Albensi was hired last September into a one-year term contract to be Director of Health Services at Bethesda Regional Health Centre. That term came to an end this fall.

(Jo-Anne Marion is now Director of Health Services at Bethesda)Marie Lacey, who is Executive Director of the east area for Southern Health says that hospital now has a new fulltime Director of Health Services. Jo-Anne Marion who held that same post at Ste. Anne Hospital is making the move to Steinbach. Lacey says Marion comes to Steinbach with five years of experience working in the region.

"(She) understands the programs and services offered at Bethesda Regional Health Centre and obviously those that they share at Ste. Anne Hospital," notes Lacey. "She's familiar with many of the managers and staff at the Bethesda site. So we're wishing her very good success there and very hopeful that things will continue to flourish."

Meanwhile, Janet Chobotar, who is Director of Health Services at Vita will now also fill that position in Ste. Anne.

"She will have an office at both areas," explains Lacey. "With the client service managers at the sites and the shared Director of Health Services, we will have strengthened the support for those facilities."
