Kerry is an accomplished leader in healthcare service delivery and strategy planning in the province of Alberta for more than two decades.

In his current role as Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair of Recovery Alberta, Mental Health and Addiction Services. Kerry is responsible for providing provincial leadership of the Addiction and Mental Health and the Correctional Health Services in order to serve all impacted Albertans.

Since his commencement with Addiction and Mental Health in 2020, Kerry has built strong relationships with many partners, including government; health foundations; academic institutions; the workforce; patients, clients and families; and communities across Alberta. Under his leadership, all AHS mental health and addiction programs, services, and operations (including those within health zones) have been consolidated under the former AHS Provincial Addiction and Mental Health program.
