Brockville General Hospital president and CEO stepping down

President & CEO of the Brockville General Hospital, Nick Vlacholias, is stepping down.

A media release from the hospital explains that he has accepted an executive leadership position as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at London Health Sciences Centre, one of the largest teaching hospitals in Ontario.

“These decisions are never easy, and timing will never be perfect, but this exciting opportunity to join the team in London comes at a time where Brockville General is on solid footing with an exceptional team to continue the journey in improving care for our patients and families across Leeds Grenville,” Vlacholias said in a statement.

A statement from the board said that under Nick’s leadership, Brockville General has seen remarkable progress to become “one of the best and safest hospitals in Ontario.

“What has been achieved in a short period of time is extremely unique in the history of the Ontario hospital system,” the release continued.
“From our new buildings and expanded services, our equipment renewal, financial stability with balanced operating results since 2017, leaders in medium size hospital advocacy, dealing with the global pandemic, our partnership with CHEO, renewed staff engagement, our innovative MRI building solution and rebuilding of our brand and image are certainly some highlights.”

“I am confident that we have established a foundation for Brockville General to shine bright now and in the future,” Vlacholias said. “Exciting things have been set in motion and I will be watching the organization succeed even further.”
