Gateway Health welcomes new CEO By JORDAN DUURSMA
GATEWAY Health has appointed a new chief executive officer (CEO), after an extensive search for the right candidate for the community. Trent Dean officially started as CEO on Monday, March 25, bringing a wealth of health care expertise and a passion for servant leadership and sustainable change. Mr Dean said he was motivated to become involved in health administration after several years of providing direct patient care, coupled with clinical safety and quality roles. “I was offered the nurse unit manager position for a 31-bed adult surgical ward at Mater Health Services,” he said. “Following this, I accepted a range of corporate risk and assurance roles, not only within the healthcare industry, but also oil and gas (Coal Seam Gas) and community services industries. “I was motivated to bring servant leadership, and sustainable change, into our health system focusing on strong clinical governance and ongoing staff learning and development.”
