In her hiring, the board touted Beatty for her more than three decades in health care including leading a “significant financial turnaround” while serving as CEO at Temiskaming Hospital.

“We thank Margaret for her service and wish her well for the future,” Huestis stated.

“The board and leadership team are committed to ensuring stability and supporting all staff in the provision of the best possible patient care for our community, always, including through a leadership transition.”

Dr. Bruce Bain, the hospital’s chief of staff, will serve as acting CEO and president during the leadership transition, Huestis said. Bain will remain on as the chief of staff while serving in the interim roles.
