Board of Directors

The McGill University Health Centre (“MUHC”) Board of Directors (the “Board”) is a voluntary board. Members are not remunerated. The Board meets a minimum of six times a year. As well, members serve on a variety of board committees and task forces. The Board is ultimately responsible for managing the affairs of the MUHC by setting and monitoring the goals and orientations of the activities of the hospital and putting in place an administrative structure.

In conformity with An Act Respecting Health Services and Social Services R.S.Q., chapter S-4.2, the current Board serves for a term of three years, and the MUHC was to hold elections for the renewal thereof, on such day in the month of October or November of 2009 as the Minister would have determined. However, in conformity with An Act to extend the terms of office of the board members of public health and social services institutions, which came into force June 4, 2009, (previously Bill 14), the terms of office of the members of the Board, which were to be held or made in 2009 are extended to 2010.
