UCN has announced that the Northern Health Region’s outgoing CEO will be their next Dean of Health.

Helga Bryant hinted that she would continue working after her retirement from the health authority when it was announced earlier this summer.

Bryant will remain as CEO of the NRHA until next March, and will begin her stint as dean in May.

UCN President and Vice-Chancellor Doug Lauvstad says the institute is excited to bring Bryant onto the team, stating she will ensure UCN’s health programming continues developing and support the needs for northern Manitoba.
