After over 19 years with the South Riverdale Community Health Centre, first as its Manager of Clinical Services and the last 5 years as its CEO, Jason Altenberg has informed the Board of Directors that he has accepted a new position, beginning at the end of the summer.
In the meantime, Jason will continue in his duties leading incredibly dedicated teams of health professionals. In the coming weeks, the Board of Directors will start its search for a new CEO.
“Jason has provided critical leadership through very challenging times which affected all community health centres, including a global pandemic, a devastating housing and opioid crisis, and an unprecedented increasing need for mental health services. Jason’s compassionate and intuitive commitment to our community has been a guiding force everyday. Our Board and staff along with our clients will miss him greatly. We wish him all the best in his new position and thank him for his many years of dedicated service.” SRCHC Board Chair Emily Hill.
