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.

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.
