The Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation (SMHF) is pleased to announce the appointment of a new Executive Director. Tracy Murray is taking up the post, replacing Sally Kidson who has served for four years.

In an SMHF media release, Tracy brings with her a wealth of knowledge about hospital operations, public relations and fundraising. Her last position as project lead for Wingham & District Hospital is a natural stepping stone for her role with us.

Tracy’s educational background in Project Management and Business Administration is only a fraction of the skills and talent that she will bring to her new position. Her experience while volunteering with fundraisers and awareness campaigns in the region will be a great asset to the Foundation and the community.

SMHF is excited about energy and enthusiasm Tracy brings to the table and the Board of Directors is looking forward to her arrival.

Tracy is set to begin work in Southampton on October 29 and Sally will provide support and training during the transition until her retirement November 30.

The community is invited to the Saugeen Memorial Hospital on November 5 at 4 p.m. for an opportunity to meet Tracy and welcome her to the Saugeen Memorial Hospital community.
