Alan Wotherspoon, Chair of the Board of Directors at PRHC, today announced the
departure of Ken Tremblay from the position of President and CEO of the Peterborough Regional Health Centre.

Tremblay joined PRHC as the President and CEO in 2010.

“On behalf of the Board of Directors I would like to thank Ken Tremblay for his service to the PRHC," says Wotherspoon in a media release. “Under his stewardship the PRHC has provided the people of our community with quality, stable health care services and achieved a more sustainable position for the hospital for the long term.”

While a search is conducted for a new President and CEO, Dr. Peter McLaughlin has been appointed to the position on an interim basis.

Dr. McLaughlin has served as Chief of Staff at PRHC since 2005 and has been Medical Coordinator of the PRHC cardiac catheterization laboratory until recently. He is an Adjunct Clinical Professor of Medicine at University of Toronto and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and the American College of Cardiology.
