A message from the President & CEO

Welcome to Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital (HGMH). I officially began my role as President & CEO at HGMH on April 19th, 2022. I have come to know that the dedication of the staff, physicians and leaders is beyond compare. Our hospital is staffed with people who are here for you.

As a patient of HGMH, our team will care for you with compassion, integrity, and respect. In our hospital you are like our family. We want you to be safe and expertly cared for and if we can’t meet your care needs locally, our team of trained professionals will access the services you need in a seamless and timely way.  

Our team are partners in your care, jointly involved in planning and decision making. We take our job so seriously that HGMH was selected through a highly competitive process to become pre-designated as a Best Practice Spotlight Organization with the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario. What an achievement! You may be asking yourself, what does this mean for you? This means, over the next three years the provision of your care will include best practices in the following five areas:

• Preventing Falls & Reducing Injuries from Falls
• Alternative Approaches to the Use of Restraints
• Delirium, Dementia & Depression in Older Adults
• Care Transitions
• Person & Family Centred Care

Quite simply, you’ll be provided superior quality, safe care at HGMH.  

The hospital has been caring for our community since 1965 when our doors opened in Alexandria. Much has changed in health care since 1965, but one thing that has never changed, is our dedication to our patients and their families. We have experienced many challenges over the last two years, despite the challenges that we’ve faced, we continue to move forward. This path forward will include setting new strategic priorities in the fall, focused on sustainable health care, here. The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us, we must be prepared, adaptable and have the ability to respond quickly. We look forward to advancing our strategic planning which will build on strong partnerships and continued focus on operational and financial stability.

We are committed to health and wellness here in North Glengarry.

Sincerely,

Robert Alldred-Hughes
President and Chief Executive Officer

Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital (HGMH) provides acute care, 24-hour emergency services, outpatient services and rehabilitation to over 41,000 residents every year and is governed by a Board of Directors.  Board members are expected to attend monthly meetings of the Board as well as regular committee meetings.

HGMH believes that building an environment that fosters diversity and inclusion of all people regardless of matters such as race, colour, religion, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ability, age, etc. is vital to enable us to provide equitable, quality care to our community.

Board members bring a wide range of skills and experience to their leadership role at our hospital.  The Board seeks to ensure a balance among the skills and experience of our directors as a whole, while also considering the unique requirements of the corporation and ensuring diverse representation of our community.
