PHSD Launches Search for New CEO/Medical Officer of Health

A local health unit's launching the search to fill its top job.

The Board of Health for Public Health Sudbury and Districts - whose coverage area includes Chapleau - has established a subcommittee dedicated to the recruitment and selection of a new Medical Officer of Health and Chief Executive Officer, to succeed Dr. Penny Sutcliffe in the dual role.

Sutcliffe's been with the health unit for more than 23 years, but is set to take a long-planned sabbatical and is nearing retirement.
