Managing Director

The Government of Alberta is refocusing Alberta’s health care system to improve outcomes for Albertans and empower health care workers to deliver quality care across the province. The system is being unified under four dedicated provincial health agencies: Recovery Alberta, Primary Care Alberta, Acute Care Alberta and Assisted Living Alberta. As part of this, cancer care services are transferring out of Alberta Health Services to a new provincial health corporation under the purview of Acute Care Alberta. Cancer Care Alberta (CCA) will operate as a provincial health corporation (PHC) under Acute Care Alberta.

The Managing Director (the chief executive officer of the PHC under the Alberta Public Agencies Governance Act) provides strategic leadership of cancer services across Alberta. The Managing Director leads, influences, supports and directs the implementation of the cancer services structure and operating model in Alberta. The Managing Director will develop the vision and strategic direction for the provincial corporation and ensure plans are created to translate this vision into actionable strategies and tactics. The Managing Director leads the development of policies, key operational standards as well as processes and practices to ensure cancer services are delivered in the most effective, accessible and sustainable manner. The Managing Director will lead the improvement of system efficiency through timely access, referrals, optimized treatment pathways and strengthened workforce capacity to achieve efficient cancer care system and optimal healthcare outcomes for patients. The Managing Director will ensure excellent collaboration and partnerships with internal and external stakeholders including other health authorities, government departments, academic institutions and the general public.
