Boyden is pleased to share the appointment news of Esther Millar, a recruitment co-led by Pamela Colquhoun and Jim Stonehouse
Toronto, ON - June 18, 2024
Following a thorough search process, the LWHA Board of Directors is pleased to announce the hiring of Esther Millar as the incoming President and CEO of the Listowel Wingham Hospitals Alliance, effective September 9, 2024.
The LWHA Board is grateful for the long-term leadership of outgoing President and CEO Karl Ellis, who in January announced his planned retirement following 14 years of service to the Listowel and Wingham communities. Ellis led the hospitals through many achievements including major renovations and CT projects at both sites, while providing steady leadership through challenges including floods, cyber security issues, the COVID-19 pandemic and a recent fire.
Millar has an extensive background in healthcare leadership and quality patient-centred care. With a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Master of Business Administration, she has worked as a senior health care executive across the province in healthcare sectors, including acute care, public health, long-term care and mental health.
As a health care leader, Millar values transparency and teamwork, with the patient at the center of decision-making. She is committed to supporting health care access closer to home, and further the role of small and medium sized hospitals in a connected and seamless health care system that more fully meets the needs of clients.
On a personal level, Millar has small-town roots, born and raised in Eastern Ontario, and embraces opportunities to contribute to small communities. She enjoys pets, outdoor pursuits, theatre and crafts. Her husband is an OPP officer, and the couple have two grown children.
