Both were appointed to three-year terms.

Three new members have also been appointed for three-year terms: Gillis Lavalley (Regina), David Fan (North Battleford) and Gary Zabos, Q.C. (Saskatoon).

"These new SHA Board members are passionate about improving our health care system, and passionate about making a difference for residents receiving health services across Saskatchewan," Health Minister Paul Merriman said.  "I am confident that along with the experienced and dedicated returnees to the Board, they will do a tremendous job leading this 44,000-strong organization through current and future challenges."

Returning members appointed to 18 month terms are: Brenda Abrametz (Prince Albert), Dr. Janet Tootoosis (North Battleford), Marilyn Charlton (Weyburn), Rosalena Smith (Pinehouse Lake) and Tom Zurowski (Saskatoon).
