Stoney Health Services (SHS) would like to share an important update with our community.
CEO Aaron Khan completed his tenure with SHS on January 11, 2026. Effective immediately, he has transitioned full time to Big Horn Health Services.
We extend our sincere appreciation to Aaron for his leadership since 2017. His work — including helping double the size of the Health Centre and guiding our community through the COVID-19 pandemic — has strengthened our health system and contributed to a strong, community driven, culturally grounded health centre here in Mînî Thnî. We are stronger because of his leadership. Please reach out to Aaron directly at his Big Horn Health Email Address.
To maintain stability, service continuity, and clear accountability, SHS has implemented an interim leadership model. During this transition, the interim leaders will report to Stoney Tribal Administration, while the Stoney Nakoda Nations’ Chiefs review and determine the future direction of leadership at SHS.
All SHS programs, clinics, and services continue to operate as normal.
