The City of Toronto is seeking a dynamic and visionary Medical Officer of Health to play a crucial role and guide the Toronto Public Health organization into a future where all people can be healthy and thrive. Reporting to the Board of Health and in coordination with the Deputy City Manager, the Medical Officer of Health will be at the forefront of shaping innovative public health strategies that address both emerging and long-standing health challenges, with a focus on promoting equity, resilience, and community well-being.
The City of Toronto Toronto is Canada’s leading economic engine and one of the world’s most diverse and livable cities. As the fourth largest city in North America, Toronto is home to more than 2.9 million residents whose diversity and experiences strengthen our great city. Toronto is an international leader in technology, finance, film, music, culture, and innovation. Toronto consistently places at the top of international rankings due in part to investments championed by residents and businesses, and in turn led by Toronto City Council and carried out through the work of the Toronto Public Service.
Toronto Public Health Toronto Public Health (TPH) reports to the Board of Health and is responsible for the health and well-being to more than 2.9 million residents, striving to reduce health inequalities and improve the health of the entire population by delivering services that meet community health needs, comply with Ontario Public Health Standards, and make wise use of human and financial resources. Today, TPH is the largest public health unit in Canada and the 5th largest in North America with over 1,800 employees.
Key Responsibilities In this role, you will be responsible for advancing Toronto Public Health’s Strategic Plan 2024-2028 , which is centered on strengthening health protection, promoting mental health, and advancing health equity across the city’s diverse population. This is a unique opportunity to lead in a city that is a global leader in public health, technology, and cultural innovation.
The Medical Officer of Health will focus on several key priorities to ensure success in the coming months and years. Central to this will be building and managing relationships, both internally within the political and bureaucratic systems—including the City Manager, Deputy City Managers, and Division Heads—and externally with a wide range of stakeholders. Effective budget and financial resource management will also be crucial, particularly in a period of fiscal constraint.
In addition to these responsibilities, maintaining strong relationships with all Board members will be vital. Understanding their perspectives, keeping them informed, and helping them understand the significance of strategic and policy initiatives will be essential for collaborative progress. The new leader will also need to establish their own brand, becoming a sought-after voice on various initiatives while navigating and leveraging the City's administrative system to work effectively within it.
A key priority will be implementing the current strategic plan while remaining responsive to community needs and effectively managing the budget in a period of fiscal constraint. Building strong connections with Public Health Ontario, leaders across the health sector, and provincial/national counterparts will be imperative. Engaging with both external and internal partners on health and non-health-related issues will help position Toronto Public Health (TPH) as a central player in city development.
Equally important will be fostering a cohesive team, ensuring efficient operations, and maintaining high staff satisfaction, engagement, and performance. Succession planning for key leadership roles within the organization will also be critical. Addressing and advancing priority policy and program areas—such as social determinants of health, income inequality, poverty reduction, climate change, Indigenous health, marijuana regulation, substance use and harm reduction (including but not limited to safe injection sites), student nutrition, toxins, air quality, healthy living, seniors' health, chronic disease, mental health, infectious diseases, and health equity—will require dedicated attention. Finally, garnering positive media attention, effectively communicating and promoting TPH’s work, and maintaining or increasing TPH's reputation with the citizens of Toronto, the Province, and nationally will be crucial for overall success.

In 2012 we opened our $450 million expansion that doubled the size of the building.

RVH is currently seeking to recruit two individuals to serve as volunteer Directors on its Board.

Ideally, candidates will demonstrate a track record of effective board governance, working in collaboration with others to achieve objectives, as well as a strong commitment to patient-centred care, community service and RVH’s vision.

Trillium Health Partners (THP) is the largest academically affiliated community-based hospital network in Canada. Comprised of the Credit Valley Hospital, the Mississauga Hospital, and the Queensway Health Centre, THP serves the growing and diverse populations of Mississauga, West Toronto, and surrounding communities. THP is a teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Toronto. THP is committed to meaningfully advancing health systems and population health research and innovation and is home to the Institute for Better Health, THP’s research institute. THP currently operates 1,457 budgeted beds and employs 11,414 staff, 1,495 professional staff (physicians, midwives, dentists) and works with 3,016 learners and 1,304 volunteers, and is growing every year. Its annual operating budget is approximately $1.6 billion.
THP’s mission is to create a new kind of health care for a healthier community. Guided by its values of compassion, excellence, and courage, THP’s strategic plan envisions a new approach to health - as a learning health system, working in partnership to improve the health in the population of the community and create an inter-connected system that is organized around the patient, both inside the Hospital and beyond its walls, by balancing quality, access, and sustainability.
The Position Reporting to the Senior Vice President, Financial Services and Chief Financial Officer, the interim Director, Financial Strategy and Planning provides strategic and operational leadership across all aspects of THP’s financial and business operations. This is not a traditional finance role; beyond technical expertise in hospital finance, the interim Director will ideally bring experience in process improvement, leading change, and driving strategic initiatives. THP has a long history of strong, leading practice financial stewardship. A key focus of the role is advancing operational efficiency, overseeing the operating plan with an emphasis on financial recovery and government relations in alignment with hospitals across the province. The Director will also play a critical role in stabilizing financial operations, following a recent HRIS implementation, while laying the foundation for a future financial management information system, and advancing strategic projects in partnership with leaders across the organization.
Key leadership priorities for the Director, Financial Strategy and Planning will be to:
Provide leadership for THP’s operational, capital and treasury financial planning and reporting capabilities.
Contribute financial insights that inform government fiscal planning and funding policies/practices, ensuring financial sustainability and strategic policy development.
Support and influence THP’s operations on matters related to hospital financial matters, including long-range financial planning processes, development and coordination of operational service planning and annual operating and capital budgets, operational and capital forecasting, and hospital funding advocacy.
Provide support to key finance managers overseeing the operational planning, internal and OHRS external reporting, capital planning and reporting, as well as the treasury, cash, and investment management functions.
Support a range of corporate strategic projects and initiatives of the hospital related to capacity building projects, integrated care, capital and other strategic endeavours.
Provide support for the continued development of a best-in-class customer service model, working in partnership with a broad group of clinical and enabling services leaders across the organization.
Fostering a healthy, safe, respectful, equitable and inclusive workplace for diverse teams and individuals to thrive.
Experience The successful candidate will have leadership experience in health care and/or a similarly complex environment/sector, with experience at the Director-level an asset. With 5-7 years of progressive leadership experience, the successful candidate will ideally have in-depth knowledge of hospital finance, as well as broader health care industry knowledge. Knowledge and experience in leading strategic planning and service planning processes at the corporate-level is an asset. In addition to possessing an accounting designation, the candidate will be an energetic, strategic thinker with the ability to see beyond the numbers. To confidentially explore this opportunity, please email your resume, quoting the appropriate position title, to Judy Mandelman or Heather Spiegel, at resumes@promeus.ca .
