Congratulations to my close friend, fellow city councillor and District 2 constituent Glenn J. Nashen on his recent appointment with the Integrated Health and Social Services University Network for West-Central Montreal (West-Central Montreal Health).
Here is the formal announcement by Network CEO Dr. Lawrence Rosenberg:
I am pleased to welcome Glenn J. Nashen as Associate Director of Communications and Media Relations for the Integrated Health and Social Services University Network for West-Central Montreal (West-Central Montreal Health).
In this position, Mr. Nashen will work in close collaboration with Beverly Kravitz, Director of Human Resources, Communications and Legal Affairs. Most notably, he will be responsible for developing a strategic communications vision linked to the network’s range of clinical services, as well as its media relations, internal and external publications, websites and intranet sites, social media strategies and multimedia activities. Mr. Nashen will also ensure that the positive image, perception and brand of the West-Central Montreal Health institutions are upheld.
Leading up to this appointment, Mr. Nashen had been Director of Public Affairs and Communications at the Jewish General Hospital (JGH) since 2001. During that time, he was instrumental in developing and maintaining a high level of communications both internal and external to the organization, as well as engaging opinion leaders and politicians. Mr. Nashen ushered the JGH into the social media age by capitalizing on this ‘new’ way of connecting with internal and external audiences. He also played a key role in the development of the hospital’s Emergency Measures Plan.
Mr. Nashen served on the national executive of the Healthcare Public Relations Association of Canada. He and his team have been recipients of 18 healthcare communications awards, including best hospital newsletter in Canada (for Pulse and JGH News) and best multimedia productions.
“I am excited to expand the patient-centric vision of our West-Central Montreal Health leadership team throughout our new network and territory,” says Mr. Nashen. “Along with my talented, creative, energetic team of communicators, I am committed to helping enrich the experience of patients, clients, residents and staff.”
Together with Mr. Nashen, the rest of the management team, and in partnership with all of the institutions in our network, I am eager to embark on this new era in health care. His rich experience at the JGH and in the community will help him and his team build the foundation for a seamless flow of communication across our network.
