TORONTO, Aug. 22, 2024 /CNW/ - Medline Canada, Corporation, a leading manufacturer and distributor of healthcare supplies and equipment, announced today that Scott MacNair has been named vice president of Healthcare Solutions, supporting acute care customers with the challenges facing hospitals, such as continued surgical backlogs, resource constraints, staff fatigue, escalating healthcare costs, supply chain disruptions and the need for sustainable practices.
MacNair joins Medline after serving as the executive vice president of Business Operations at British Columbia's Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA). He joined PHSA at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, where he, along with health system partners, set up an effective supply chain that sustained the flow of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and medical supplies to British Columbia's healthcare workers.
More recently, MacNair worked to modernize the provincial healthcare supply chain further by redefining the governance model with regional health authorities. Prior to his time at PHSA, he was the president of Stryker Canada, a leading provider of healthcare technologies.
"With Scott's strategic business acumen, deep experience in healthcare and executive relationships in the sector, I know he will make a significant impact supporting our customers through the ever-changing dynamics of the Canadian acute care sector," said Ernie Philip, president, Medline Canada, Corporation.
