Ontario Health atHome CEO fired in wake of home care supply shortage | CBC News
Briefly

Cynthia Martineau, CEO of Ontario Health atHome, was terminated following persistent supply chain challenges in home care that adversely affected patients, including vulnerable palliative individuals. A communication from board chair Carol Annett acknowledged Martineau's dedication and contributions during her tenure. The implementation of new supply contracts has led to critical medical items, such as needles and IV supplies, being unavailable for patients, causing increased reliance on emergency services. Concerns about the supply issues continue as Premier Doug Ford vows to address these challenges.
Every day that I order supplies is a frustration, because everything is out of stock, so our patients aren't getting the supplies that they do require for their care.
For over three years, Cynthia has led our organization with compassion, dedication and an unwavering commitment to serving patients and their families.
