President and CEO, CIUSSS de l’Ouest-de-l’Île-de-Montréal
Dan Gabay joined the CIUSSS de l’Ouest-de-l’Île-de-Montréal as its President and CEO in February 2023. Mr. Gabay is driven by a strategic vision centred on innovation, agility and providing an outstanding patient experience.His 18-year background in healthcare management has given him an in-depth understanding of the complexity of Québec’s health and social services network, an affinity for being at the heart of the action, and an evidence-based management style.
His spirit of innovation has revitalized the CIUSSS de l’Ouest-de-l’Île-de-Montréal, fostering a culture of performance measurement that promotes transparency and informed decision-making. As such, he encourages all stakeholders to be accountable for providing exemplary care and services. During his first year at the helm, he led the roll-out of 3 coordination command centres, including Québec’s first such command centre in a mental health setting. These have tangibly improved patient flow at our hospital centres. Other innovations in the ways we provide healthcare include the use of virtual reality in critical care.
