Dr. Johan Viljoen has spent about 30 years with Niagara Health, and first joined as a physician in 1993.
"As a member of the executive team, Johan contributed to shaping our strategic priorities, led our team of physicians through the pandemic and represented Niagara Health on numerous regional committees. He also served as a vocal champion for Niagara residents and patients," says Marylee O’Neill, Chair, Niagara Health Board of Directors.
