Embrace this opportunity to lead healthcare delivery for one of the fastest growing and increasingly diverse communities in Ontario.

The Brant Community Healthcare System operates 324 beds and serves a growing population of 150,000+ people across Brantford, County of Brant, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation, and the surrounding communities.

In 1885, Brantford General Hospital (BGH) was established by a group of local physicians and citizens to serve the hospital needs of the local population. In 1999, The Willett Hospital in Paris and the Brantford General Hospital became partners in the Brant Community Healthcare System (BCHS). Over 2,700 staff, physicians, and volunteers work at BCHS supporting the long history of quality healthcare across the region. BCHS is an affiliated teaching site of McMaster University Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine. As the only acute care facility in Brant County, BCHS is committed to providing specialty programs and services to the 150,000+ people it serves. BCHS is dedicated to building and sustaining a high quality and safe patient and family-centered system of care respected by the community and employees.

Reporting to the Board of Directors, the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is accountable for providing overall senior leadership for the operations of the organization, ensuring that the strategic plan, operational objectives and policies established by the Board are carried out, to provide efficient and effective delivery of services to the communities serviced by the hospital.

They will bring their success in an executive leadership role in a complex, healthcare organization or system of a similar scale. They will have built strong and collaborative relationships with other healthcare providers, First Nation Communities, and various levels of government in Ontario.
