Interior Health CEO to retire fall 2018
Interior Health’s Board Chair Doug Cochrane announced today that President & CEO Chris Mazurkewich has provided the Board of Directors with his letter of resignation, expressing his decision to retire at the end of October.
 
“Chris Mazurkewich has spent nearly three decades working to build a strong, sustainable health system in British Columbia,” said Cochrane. “Under his leadership as CEO, Interior Health has implemented services that make health care more accessible in rural areas, services that support people living with mental illness, and services that meet the needs of our increasingly older population. I want to acknowledge specifically Chris’s dedication to fostering relationships with Aboriginal leaders and communities across IH. The partnerships and innovations that are a result of his commitment are a model for all of us going forward.”
“This summer, during B.C.’s worst-ever wildfire season, I had the opportunity to witness first hand Chris’s on-the-ground leadership skills in making sure that patients and residents were reassured, safe, and received the care they needed,” said Health Minister Adrian Dix. “We have been fortunate to benefit from Chris’s oversight and strong direction in improving health care for residents throughout the Interior. I thank him for his years of service and wish him well as he transitions into retirement.”
