Dr. Verna Yiu leaving AHS as President and CEO
LETHBRIDGE, AB – The search will now begin for a new person to head up Alberta Health Services (AHS).
Dr. Verna Yiu was originally appointed as the President and CEO of AHS in 2016 for a five-year term. Her contract was extended by two years on June 2, 2021, meaning it was set to expire in 2023.
She says it has been an “extraordinary privilege” to lead AHS for the last six years.
“I would like to thank all staff, physicians and volunteers for their steadfast care of Albertans and their ability to put patients and families first, particularly as we have navigated through the past two pandemic years.”
