TORONTO, Aug. 22,
2024 /CNW/ - Medline Canada, Corporation, a leading
manufacturer and distributor of healthcare supplies and equipment,
announced today that Scott MacNair
has been named vice president of Healthcare Solutions, supporting
acute care customers with the challenges facing hospitals, such as
continued surgical backlogs, resource constraints, staff fatigue,
escalating healthcare costs, supply chain disruptions and the need
for sustainable practices.
MacNair joins Medline after serving as the executive vice
president of Business Operations at British Columbia's Provincial Health Services
Authority (PHSA). He joined PHSA at the height of the COVID-19
pandemic, where he, along with health system partners, set up an
effective supply chain that sustained the flow of Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) and medical supplies to British Columbia's healthcare workers.
More recently, MacNair worked to modernize the provincial
healthcare supply chain further by redefining the governance model
with regional health authorities. Prior to his time at PHSA, he was
the president of Stryker Canada, a
leading provider of healthcare technologies.
"With Scott's strategic business acumen, deep experience in
healthcare and executive relationships in the sector, I know he
will make a significant impact supporting our customers through
the ever-changing dynamics of the Canadian acute care sector,"
said Ernie Philip, president,
Medline Canada, Corporation.
