The Ungava Tulattavik Health Centre in Kuujjuaq is looking for a new director, following the retirement of veteran director Madge Pomerleau earlier this month.

In an April 17 release, the health centre’s board of directors acknowledged and thanked Pomerleau for her many years of service.

As of April 14, the centre has appointed Jacques Poliquin as its acting executive director until a permanent director is found. Poliquin worked previously for the centre as its medical affairs and physical health advisor.

Applications for the job remain open until April 27, the release said.

Tulattavik provides health and social services for the seven communities along Nunavik’s Ungava coast, including a general and specialized care hospital, child and youth protection, an extended care residential centre, and a youth rehabilitation centre.
