Windsor - May. 30, 2020:
The following quote can be attributed to Gary McNamara, Chair of the Board of Health for the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (WECHU):

“The Windsor-Essex County Board of Health members stand behind the strong and unwavering leadership of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Nursing Officer, Theresa Marentette and Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Wajid Ahmed. Under the Health Protection and Promotion Act, local boards of health have the responsibility for ensuring the delivery of public health programs and services and the prevention of the spread of disease in our communities. Together with the support of the senior leadership and the over 200 public health staff, the WECHU has continued to put the health and well-being of our community at the forefront of every action and decision.

Public Health decisions are complex and require expertise, science and evidence. From the beginning of the pandemic the WECHU has focused on providing information that is clear, consistent and science based. Daily news updates and briefings have become part of the norm for the WECHU, because the science and evidence is growing for COVID-19 and direction changes. Compounded with shortages in supplies, capacity in the lab system, the Medical Officer of Health must weigh the risks and benefits of every decision to determine the best course of action based on the current evidence and provincial guidance.

The Community should be assured as we are as members of the Board of Health that this mighty team of public health experts are doing what needs to be done for the health of our community. These decisions are not easy and responsibility is heavy and we are confident in Dr. Ahmed and Theresa Marentette to continue to put evidence before politics in decisions to keep our communities healthy.”
