Health Management Consultant/HR Lead for Prince Edward Island
Phil’s extensive health career has afforded him the opportunity to participate on numerous health committees and boards at the local, provincial and national level.

He exited the public sector in 2005 and held the private sector executive role as Vice President, Operations, CanAm Physician Recruiting Inc. until 2021.

This critical change is both feasible and attainable by incentivizing both public and private health sector collaboration.
