The Weeneebayko Area Health Authority (WAHA) board of directors announced on June 3 that it has appointed Dr. Gordon Green to serve as the new chief of staff in the James Bay region.
Raised in southern Ontario, Dr. Green is a graduate of the Queen’s University Medical Program who spent time during his residency at the Moose Factory General Hospital and provided locum services to the region.
After 12 years of practicing family medicine in southern Ontario, Dr. Green moved to the U.S. and practiced medicine, and grew into instructional as well as leadership roles in Virginia.
“Dr. Green is committed to continuing education and working with health care teams, and the community to achieve better health outcomes that stem from education and prevention,” WAHA said in a press release. “Dr. Green and his wife, Annette O’Reilly are making Moose Factory their home and look forward to working with the WAHA team and the communities we serve.”
WAHA oversees the medical services and facilities in six communities along the James and Hudson Bay coasts, including Moosonee, Moose Factory, Fort Albany, Kashechewan, Attawapiskat and Peawanuck.
When I was a boy growing up in my home community of Attawapiskat on the James Bay coast, I was deathly afraid of looking at the full moon.

I’m happy to see the ongoing support and assistance in our northern remote communities to help our people cope with so many lifelong and generational issues...
