Premier Smith to replace CMOH Dr. Deena Hinshaw
Premier Danielle Smith is promising some big changes to healthcare in Alberta including leadership.
Smith says chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw will be out. Hinshaw was a key advisor to former Premier Jason Kenney and his cabinet throughout the pandemic.
Smith says while she appreciates the work Hinshaw has done she “will get new advice on public health.”
Smith indicated that Alberta is in a new phase “where we are talking about treating coronavirus as endemic as we do influenza and so I will be developing a new team of public health advisors.”
