DeGroote welcomes new executive in residence

[img_inline align=”right” src=”http://padnws01.mcmaster.ca/images/Walsh_Grant.jpg” caption=”Grant Walsh”]A year ago, the DeGroote School of Business founded the Health Leadership Institute. Designed to help healthcare professionals manage and exceed expectations in the challenging healthcare field, the Institute has offered training and consulting to hundreds of executives from organizations across Ontario. Now the HLI has a new asset as it welcomes Grant Walsh as an executive in residence.

Walsh is managing partner and chief executive officer of EC Murphy, a management-consulting firm that specializes in performance improvement in healthcare, health-related, and service organizations.

His mandate is three-fold: consulting the dean and senior managers at DeGroote, advising students, particularly those in DeGroote's executive leadership programs and the health services management MBA, and advocating for the School of Business. “I want to let everybody know what a wonderful asset the DeGroote School of Business is in the community,” he explains.

Prior to establishing EC Murphy Walsh, Mr. Walsh was the President and CEO of St. Peter's Health System in Hamilton. “Grant Walsh is an example of the difference that leadership can make in Canadian healthcare. When he arrived at St. Peter's Hospital in Hamilton it was to be closed. Today St. Peter's has a volume five times its previous size, healthy finances, and was approved as the site of Canada's first young adult complex continuing care hospital. We are very pleased he has joined our team at the HLI as executive-in-residence,” says Wayne Taylor, director of the HLI.

The DeGroote School of Business Health Leadership Institute provides executive learning programs for health care professionals and administrators as well as contract research opportunities for the health care industry.

“The HLI is designed to be responsive to the healthcare industry,” explains Walsh. “Topics are leading edge and information is current. Healthcare executives can hear about important issues and we can help them to do their jobs better.”
