A new Chief of Staff has been appointed for Niagara's only rehabilitation hospital. 

Dr. Galina Arvinte has been named Chief of Staff for Hotel Dieu Shaver, effective immediately. 

She received unanimous endorsement from both the Chief of Staff Selection Committee and the hospital's board of trustees. 

Dr. Arvinte took on the role of Interim Chief of Staff in May 2022, after Chief of Staff Dr. Jack Luce died. 

She has been a physician for 35 years, and has worked at Hotel Dieu Shaver since 2002. 

"It is a sincere privilege to serve our Niagara community and to work alongside such a respected and compassionate team of physicians and professionals at Hotel Dieu Shaver," says Dr. Galina Arvinte. "As I step into this new role, I know that no one could ever replace Dr. Luce, but I will always aspire to provide the same level of care, thoughtfulness and leadership that he provided for over 30 years. I am overwhelmed by the tireless work, dedication and support provided to me at Hotel Dieu Shaver and I am committed to doing whatever I can to help continue and strengthen the legacy of exceptional care that we provide to our community, together."

Dr. Arvinte oversees medical quality of care through the hospital's Medical Advisory Committee, assists the hospital as lead physician, acts as an ex officio on the Hospital's Board, and continues to serve as attending physician and on call. 

Every year, Hotel Dieu Shaver treats about 1,100 inpatients and 40,000 outpatients.
