Chair Ron Farrell says Wall brings extensive health care experience grounded in community, as well as a decade of working with and learning from Anishinabe people on Manitoulin Island.
With a Master of (Health) Science in Administration, Wall has worked as a registered dietitian for the Manitoulin Health Centre and in Wikwemikong, as well as in long-term care homes on Manitoulin Island, Elliot Lake and Espanola.
