About Health Initiatives for Youth Hamilton
As a non-profit charitable organization we are governed by a voluntary Board of Directors
Scott Reeves has been Chair of the Board of Directors since 2005. He helped direct the Board and the Agency through its transformation from Planned Parenthood Society of Hamilton to Health Initiatives For Youth Hamilton, a name that better reflected the Agency, its services, role in the community and mandate. This also included its relocation across from Sir John A. MacDonald High School at 151 York Boulevard.
