Executive Vice President, Provincial Clinical Programs
Ontario Health is implementing one of the most significant health system transformations in Canada. Created in 2019 to connect and coordinate care across the province, the agency unites world-class expertise in clinical care, digital health, quality, and system planning. Guided by its values of Integrity, Inspiration, Tenacity, Humility, and Care, Ontario Health works with partners across hospitals, community services, mental health, home care, and more to deliver better health outcomes and experiences for every Ontarian.
The Position
The Executive Vice President, Provincial Clinical Programs (EVP) provides strategic and operational leadership across the two Ontario Health clinical portfolios: Acute and Hospital-Based Care (AHBC) and Primary and Community-Based Care (PCBC). Reporting to the President and Chief Executive Officer and serving as a member of the Senior Leadership Team, the EVP leads a broad provincial clinical mandate focused on integrating and coordinating care delivery across the continuum and improving access, quality, equity, patient and provider experiences, and ultimately the health outcomes of Ontarians.
The role works in a ‘double dyad’ model in close partnership with the EVP, AHBC and Chief Medical Executive, and the EVP, PCBC and Chief Medical Information Officer. Together, these three executive leaders establish clinical strategy, priorities, and delivery plans, with the EVP responsible for translating those priorities into coordinated execution through the portfolio Vice Presidents and their teams.
The mandate extends across cancer, renal, cardiac, stroke, vascular, transplant, laboratory medicine, diagnostic imaging, critical care, mental health and addictions, primary care, community care, and other provincial clinical programs. A central opportunity for the EVP is to connect specialty and hospital-based care more effectively with primary and community care, extending evidence-informed standards, pathways, and models of care across the full patient journey.
The role connects provincial program development and oversight with regional implementation, ensuring that clinical priorities, models of care, standards, and initiatives are coordinated across Ontario Health and aligned with Ministry of Health and Ministry of Long-Term Care direction. Working closely with Chief Regional Officers, government, providers, and corporate services leaders, the EVP establishes clear delivery commitments, aligns resources and capabilities with priorities, and drives accountability for results.
The Person
The ideal candidate is an accomplished healthcare executive with the breadth, judgment, and operational capability to lead a large and diverse provincial clinical portfolio. They bring a strong record of translating strategy into delivery, managing complex programs and resources, and achieving measurable improvements in care and system performance.
They understand the full continuum of care and can build credibility with academic health sciences centres and specialty programs, as well as primary care providers, community agencies, and mental health and addictions organizations. They appreciate the different operating realities, resources, and capabilities across these settings and can bring partners together around shared clinical and system goals.
A strategic and analytically strong leader, they can assess organizational capacity, establish priorities, and make difficult choices in a constrained environment. They understand how government and publicly accountable organizations operate and can present practical options, navigate funding and approval requirements, and align expectations with achievable outcomes.
They are comfortable working in close partnership with senior clinical executives, sharing responsibility for portfolio success while bringing clear operational leadership. They lead through others, empower capable Vice Presidents, and set clear expectations for performance, maintaining strategic oversight while knowing when more direct involvement is required.
To confidentially explore this opportunity, please email your resume, quoting the appropriate position title, to Judy Mandelman or Heather Spiegel, at resumes@promeus.ca .
Ontario Health encourages applications from candidates who are First Nations, Métis, Inuit, and urban Indigenous; Francophone; members of Black and racialized groups; 2SLGBTQIA+ communities; trans and nonbinary individuals; and people living with disabilities. Ontario Health welcomes applications from candidates across Ontario.

Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre is seeking its next President and Chief Executive Officer.
The appointment of the next President and Chief Executive Officer presents a rare opportunity to lead one of the country’s most distinguished academic health sciences centres at a time when clinical excellence, scientific discovery, system integration and organizational transformation must advance with equal conviction.
Sunnybrook is entering a defining chapter in its evolution, one that brings together an extraordinary legacy of service, a formidable record of clinical and academic achievement, and an increasingly influential role in shaping the future of health care in Ontario and Canada.
Nationally leading and globally recognized, Sunnybrook cares for approximately 1.2 million patients each year and brings together more than 17,000 staff, physicians, learners and volunteers across primary and community services, acute and specialized care, rehabilitation and post acute care. Internationally renowned in areas including trauma and burns, cancer, cardiovascular care, neurosciences, rehabilitation and precision diagnostics and therapeutics, Sunnybrook has earned an enduring reputation for bringing expertise, ingenuity and compassion to some of health care’s most complex challenges. Founded as a hospital for Canada’s Veterans, its legacy of service, courage and resilience continues to resonate throughout the institution and remains an important part of its character.
Looking ahead, Sunnybrook will operate within a health care environment of increasing complexity and constraint. Growing demand, workforce pressures, fiscal realities and significant infrastructure needs are converging with rapid advances in artificial intelligence, digital health and precision medicine, while expectations of leading hospitals increasingly extend beyond their traditional boundaries. Navigating such an environment will require a President and CEO who combines the discipline of an accomplished operator with the perspective and foresight of a system leader. Financial stewardship, political acuity and operational rigour will be essential, alongside the capacity to anticipate change and translate ambition into sustained performance.
Sunnybrook’s influence will also be defined increasingly by what it accomplishes with and through others. Excellence in highly specialized care remains fundamental, even as the organization strengthens its role in primary, community and integrated care and assumes broader responsibility across the patient journey. Credibility and trusted relationships with government, Ontario Health, physicians, unions, the University of Toronto, health system partners, the Sunnybrook Foundation, donors and communities will therefore be indispensable. An astute convener and persuasive ambassador, the next CEO will need to align diverse interests, exercise influence in environments where authority is shared and ensure that Sunnybrook contributes meaningfully to the policies and decisions shaping health care across Ontario.
Invent 2030 provides a strong foundation for the journey ahead, bringing together personalized and precise treatments, integrated care, quality and patient experience, and thriving people and teams.
Research, education, digital transformation and significant campus renewal, including the envisioned Critical Care Centre, will further shape the mandate. Rather than advancing these priorities in isolation, the next President and CEO will be expected to integrate them into a coherent vision for Sunnybrook’s future, accelerating discovery into practice, translating investment into greater capacity and ensuring that strategic ambition produces meaningful benefit for patients and the broader health system.
Equally important will be the stewardship of Sunnybrook’s distinctive culture. Its next leader will inherit an organization characterized by intellectual vitality, institutional pride and a profound commitment to purpose. Preserving those qualities while enabling necessary change will require discernment, courage and humility. Sunnybrook needs a leader people will choose to follow, someone who combines strategic ambition with authenticity and empathy, develops exceptional leaders, welcomes thoughtful challenge and possesses the resolve to make difficult decisions while sustaining the trust and collegiality that have long distinguished the organization.
Building on exceptional strengths in care, discovery, academic leadership and people, Sunnybrook’s next President and Chief Executive Officer will have the opportunity to guide an extraordinary institution through a period of significant possibility and change. With clarity of purpose and confidence in what Sunnybrook can become, the next leader will help extend its influence, strengthen its contribution to Ontario’s health system and ensure that Sunnybrook continues to be there for patients and families when it matters most.
For additional information and to submit your application, please contact Jim Stonehouse, Partner or Pamela Colquhoun, Partner via Kathy Luu, Senior Associate at kluu@boyden.com .
This role will have an expected appointment in summer of 2027.
Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre is committed to providing accessible employment practices that are in compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).
