Join our Board of Directors

We are looking for dedicated applicants to join our volunteer Board of Directors.

CMEPP is a growing not-for-profit organization that manages medical equipment maintenance contracts for healthcare organizations across the country. CMEPP is owned by its 80 member hospitals located at more than 275 sites in Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia. Since CMEPP negotiates and manages service and repair costs on behalf of our Participant members, we cultivate strong partnerships with the Supplier community.

CMEPP is in the third year of its current strategic plan and the plan revolves around three strategic priorities: cultivate growth and expansion, enhanced customer focus with Participants and Suppliers, and unleash the power of our technology.
