Deane replaces Shields as acting CEO Ken Deane was named as Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Leamington District Memorial Hospital (LDMH), filling in for Terry Shields who is taking a medical leave for a hip replacement. Jim Gaffan, Board Chair of LDMH announced the appointment of Deane as acting CEO last week, taking effect effective April 2, 2015. This acting appointment is to provide interim coverage until Shields’ expected return at the end of May 2015. “The board is unanimous in appointing Ken as Acting Chief Executive Officer during Terry’s medical leave. The Board welcomes Ken for this interim period and looks forward to Terry’s speedy recovery and return,” confirmed Gaffan. “The appointment of an acting CEO during a leave of this duration is a common practice and it reflects the Board’s interest in maintaining strategic oversight and strong external relationships. Day-to-day operations will continue to be directed by senior management under Susan Gibson, Chief Financial Officer, and Dr. Ejaz Ghumman, Chief of Staff. During this time Ken will work closely with senior management and the Board of Directors,” stated CEO Shields. Deane was President and CEO at Hotel-Dieu Grace Hospital from 2002 to 2004 and then returned to Windsor in January 2011 having been appointed Supervisor of Hotel-Dieu Grace Hospital by the Minister of Health and Long Term Care. Following his appointment as Supervisor, the Board appointed Deane as President and CEO, a position he held until September 2014. Deane has extensive experience in health care having held executive positions in a number of hospitals and a senior role in the Ministry of Health and Long Term as Assistant Deputy Minister of the Health System Accountability and Performance Division.
