Bev McParland

Bev is a registered nurse with additional credentials in health care administration and human resources. After 25 years of clinical care, teaching, research, and management in acute hospital settings, Bev moved to Price Waterhouse health care consulting in 1989.  Her clinical and administrative roles were at a variety of organizations ranging from GWM in Perth (1974 to 1979), Riverside in Ottawa and the University Health Network.

Born at the GWM site and raised in Tay Valley Township, Bev and her husband Jim McDermott purchased a cottage on Pike Lake in 2011 and have spent 6 months at the lake every year since.  They purchased a winter home in Perth and moved from Toronto in March 2022. Recognizing the critical role, a hospital plays in the community Bev wanted to volunteer to support the goals of fundraising for the wide variety of needs that require community support and looks forward to helping with these goals.
