This is a joint reappointment with North East London NHS Foundation Trust (NELFT).
The reappointment was made by the Council of Governors for each Trust.
ELFT Chief Executive Lorraine Sunduza, OBE said: “The reappointment of Eileen Taylor as Joint Chair for ELFT and NELFT is hugely positive news for both Trusts and the communities we serve.
"She is a champion of innovation with system partners and helps lead ELFT's mission to improve the quality of life for all we serve with clarity and compassion."
Eileen Taylor said: “I look forward to continuing to collaborate with our communities, staff and our system partners to improve access, experience and outcomes and to improve equity. I particularly value the insight I have received to date from the staff, governors, patients and carers at ELFT and NELFT."
Eileen will continue to lead the Boards and Councils of both Trusts, with a combined budget of £1billion and more than 12,000 staff providing mental health, community health, learning disabilities and primary care services for more than 6 million people in north east London, Bedfordshire and Luton, Essex and Kent.
