ALLISTON, ONTARIO - On Friday, September 28, Gary Ryan, Interim President and CEO of Stevenson Memorial Hospital told staff that, with mixed emotions, he was announcing that Steve Miller, Chief Finance and Information Officer, had accepted the position of Chief Financial Officer at Hotel Dieu Hospital in Kingston.

"This is a great career move for Steve and a well-earned promotion. He is moving to a larger hospital and is also getting to experience firsthand, a teaching hospital environment. So I am delighted for Steve and wish him all the best in his new position. However we are disappointed that we will be losing him here at SMH," Mr. Ryan said.

Steve Miller was described as forthright, dedicated, positive and always focused on finding solutions to problems.

"Steve has been a crucial member of this organization since joining Stevenson Memorial in July of 2003. Since assuming the interim President & CEO duties here, I have been able to work on a daily basis with Steve and have appreciated even more the professionalism that he brings to his work.
We will miss his contributions," Ryan said.

Mr. Miller's last day at Stevenson Memorial Hospital will be November 2, 2007 and a farewell is being planned.
