Alberta Health Services CEO Takes Leave of Absence

Andre Tremblay, the CEO of Alberta Health Services (AHS), is on leave of absence following his controversial appointment last January amid a political firestorm involving former CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos’s wrongful dismissal lawsuit. Erin O’Neill has been appointed as interim CEO while the province refocuses its health system responsibilities to new Crown agencies. Tremblay’s role in the prior controversies has drawn scrutiny, as he was linked to Mentzelopoulos’s firing. AHS has not disclosed the reasons for Tremblay’s leave, citing it as a human resources matter.
