Montfort Hospital board of trustees appoints Dominic Giroux as president and CEO

The board of trustees of the Hôpital Montfort announced the appointment of Dominic Giroux as the hospital's new president and chief executive officer (CEO). 

The Montfort Board of Trustees unanimously approved the appointment of Giroux at a meeting on Feb. 22 following an extensive nationwide recruitment process. 

Giroux has served as CEO of Health Sciences North (HSN) and its research institute since 2017. HSN is the regional academic health sciences centre for Northeastern Ontario. Born at Montfort and a former Montfort board member, Giroux chairs the board of the Ontario Hospital Association and co-chaired the National Health Training Consortium.

He is a Certified Health Leader with the Canadian College of Health Leaders and a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives.
In 2016, he received the Pilier de la Francophonie award from the Assemblée de la Francophonie de l'Ontario.  

“What attracted me most to the role was the priority the board places on Montfort’s status as an academic hospital, the importance of ensuring the availability of French-speaking healthcare professionals for years to come, and the provincial leadership we must exercise as a flagship institution of francophone Ontario,” said Giroux. “I would like to take this opportunity to salute the exceptional work of my predecessor, Dr. Bernard Leduc. I look forward to meeting with the hospital's teams and partners to define together the future priorities of Montfort.”

Giroux's term will begin on July 31, 2023.
