“We are pleased to have Chantal on board as the Manager of the Clare Health Centre.

We wish her the very best in her retirement.”

In her new role, Ms. Pottier will be managing all the daily operations of the Clare Health Centre, including both human resource management and financial oversight. She is responsible for overseeing all activities of the municipal employees employed at the health centre while also supporting and collaborating with physicians on issues relating to their practice.
