The Board of Directors for Pathways Health Centre for Children announces the retirement of Alison Morrison, Chief Executive Officer, effective September 7, 2026. Alison has worked at Pathways for twenty-eight years; serving as the Chief Executive Officer for the past seven years.

We wish Alison all the best in the next stage of her life.”

Together, we have navigated complexity, grown our impact, and strengthened the care we provide. While I look forward with excitement to what is ahead for me, I am also excited to see how this organization will continue to grow, innovate, and deliver excellent care into the future.” Alison Morrison, Outgoing Chief Executive Officer.
