Toronto, ON, July 22, 2020<\/strong> \u2013 Canada\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospital Foundations (CCHF) announced the appointment of Jennifer Gillivan, President & CEO, IWK Foundation, as the new Chair, Board of Directors. Gillivan is a passionate advocate for children\u2019s health locally, nationally and internationally and played an integral role in the creation of CCHF.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very honoured and proud to lead this dedicated team of professionals who represent the interests of children\u2019s health care from coast to coast,\u201d says Gillivan. \u201cI look forward to working with my colleagues across the country and our network of national partners to make a positive impact on the health of our children and ultimately the health of Canada, both now and for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

CCHF creates a unified framework to raise funds and awareness to support 13 of Canada\u2019s children\u2019s hospitals. It has provided unprecedented opportunities to bring children\u2019s health to the national forefront, ensuring that its collective voice continues to be heard and understood. CCHF continues to create new corporate partnerships that will benefit the health of children receiving care both locally and nationally.<\/p>\n

Mark Hierlihy, President & CEO, CCHF, is looking forward to working with Gillivan as the new Chair. \u201cJennifer brings incredible vitality and vision to her role. She is inspiring, progressive, and brings insights crucial to the next phase of CCHF growth. She often reminds us that our national vision of if we change the health of children, we will change the health of Canada<\/em> is grounded in community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gillivan steps into the role following Ted Garrard, President & CEO, SickKids Foundation, who has completed his term as the inaugural Chair since CCHF\u2019s inception in 2017, and is now Chair Emeritus. \u00a0\u201cI personally want to thank Ted for his leadership, strategic guidance and commitment to CCHF,\u201d says Gillivan. \u201cDuring his term as Chair, Ted played a pivotal role in helping grow CCHF to be to be the single largest non-government funder of children\u2019s health in Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n

Never before has CCHF\u2019s commitment to changing the health of children to change the health of Canada been so imperative. \u201cWhile COVID-19 has not currently impacted children the way in which it is has impacted other populations, it has truly affected their mental health and overall well-being,\u201d continues Gillivan. \u201cI am committed to advocating for and being the voice of children in our country to ensure that their health continues to be a priority during this unprecedented time.\u201d<\/p>\n

These leadership appointments are effective immediately.<\/p>\n
