Chatham-Kent Health Alliance (CKHA) has announced the appointment of Dr. Zeke Milkovic as its Chief of Staff effective immediately.
Dr. Milkovic has been serving as Acting Chief of Staff for the past year following the departure of former CKHA Chief of Staff Dr. Pervez Faruqi, who at the time faced assault charges.
They have since been withdrawn.
“Dr. Milkovic brings a wealth of experience and deep knowledge of both the hospital and community health care environments,” said CKHA’s Board of Directors Chair Deb Crawford. “His leadership as Acting Chief of Staff has been instrumental in supporting our medical staff and advancing patient care. We are delighted to welcome him to the role permanently.”
CKHA said Dr. Milkovic has operated a family medicine practice in Chatham-Kent for over 30 years.
Dr. Milkovic is a founding physician and past Chair of the Board of the Thamesview Family Health Team, where he continues to play an active clinical and leadership role and has been instrumental in advancing team-based, patient-centered primary care in the region, added CKHA.
“I am honoured to take on this role and to continue working alongside our talented team of physicians, staff and leaders to support the delivery of safe, high-quality care for our patients and families,” said Dr. Milkovic.
CKHA noted Dr. Milkovic will continue seeing patients as usual at his practice.
