If you were to look at a group picture of the board of the Northumberland Hills Hospital, some things would stand out. First, you need to remove all the staff and department heads to see the community members. Then, you will notice there are more women than men. You might also notice that there is not a lot of diversity regarding representatives from community members beyond that. If you dig a bit deeper, you might also find there is not a lot of inclusiveness regarding race, economic class, and age.
Well, the two members of the hospital board, the chair Pam Wente and nomination committee member Cyndi Gilmer, will tell you they are trying to change that. As you will hear, the board is looking to recruit new members in the hopes of getting a broader representation from the community. Here is that interview.
