The executive who replaced both the ousted board and CEO of Alberta Health Services last year has returned to both roles following a leave of absence.
Andre Tremblay returned to the top post at Alberta’s largest hospitals agency in late January, more than a month after his temporary leave, an AHS spokesperson said in an email this week to CBC News.
Earlier in January, Hospital Minister Matt Jones appointed Tremblay the chair and sole director of AHS. Previously, Tremblay had been serving as AHS’s administrator, a temporary role designed to replace the entire board of directors.
Tremblay moved from a senior role in the Alberta government to the helm of AHS in January 2025, after the termination of Athana Mentzelopoulos, who has sued AHS and the province for wrongful dismissal.
