K.H.M.H. C.E.O. Chandra Cansino to Chair S.S.B.

Chandra Cansino, the C.E.O. of Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital, has been appointed as the new chairperson of the Social Security Board in Belize. Cansino brings a wealth of experience, having spent over two decades at the S.S.B. before taking on the role of C.E.O. at K.H.M.H. in 2021. Her appointment comes three months after Doctor Leroy Almendarez unexpectedly stepped down as C.E.O. of S.S.B. at the end of January, after less than a year in the position. Cansino is succeeding Nigeli Sosa.  Cansino remains the Chief Executive Officer of the KHMH, as her appointment as chair of the S.S.B. is not a full-time role.
