He has broad governance experience, serving as director on many boards throughout his career including for hospitals. A resident of Dysart et al, Mr. O’Brien is committed to giving back to the community through his involvement on multiple boards, including at the Haliburton County Development Corporation and the Haliburton County Public Library.

“We are deeply grateful to Dr. Jan Walker for her dedicated service to the Board of Directors and HHHS since 2015,” said Chair David O’Brien. “Under her leadership over the past year, HHHS has continued to deliver the high-quality health care services our community relies on, despite significant challenges including the health human resource crisis being experienced across the province. We will miss Dr. Walker, and will continue to work hard to guide HHHS forward for our community.”
