c/o Odgers
London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) is a world-class academic health sciences centre located in the southwestern Ontario city of London. As one of Canada’s largest research-intensive acute care teaching hospitals, LHSC delivers world-class care and experiences, built on their commitment to excellence in research, innovation, and learning. Dedicated to excellence in patient care, teaching and research, they have provided patient care for the people of London, the region, and beyond since 1875. Many national and international medical breakthroughs have been pioneered at LHSC to the benefit of patients at home and around the world. Through their affiliation with Western University and more than 30 other educational institutions, they train more than 1,800 medical and health-care professionals annually. LHSC is known for its great people and great care, with a workforce of close to 15,000 dedicated to delivering the highest quality patient care while partnering with communities to transform health, one life at a time.
This is a newly created executive role, established through a purposeful realignment of responsibilities from three existing portfolios to enable more focused, effective clinical leadership, performance management and further operating and capital budget oversight and value for money stewardship. The redesign creates a consolidated clinical operations portfolio encompassing Internal Medicine, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (PaLM), Medical Imaging, and Infection Prevention & Control (IPAC). This structure supports dedicated executive attention to quality, access, and experience across vitally important inpatient and outpatient while strengthening operational cohesion across the complex, interdependent programs. The Vice President serves as the single point of enterprise accountability for the quality, safety, access, academic excellence, and system performance of Medicine programs, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (PaLM), Medical Imaging and IPAC across LHSC’s multi-site academic health sciences centre. Leading some of the organization’s most clinically complex and resource‑intensive services, the VP plays a critical role in advancing high‑quality, evidence‑informed, patient‑centred care within Ontario’s publicly funded healthcare system – balancing clinical excellence, operational performance, and stakeholder expectations in an increasingly constrained and high‑demand environment.
In alignment with LHSC’s Renewal Plan, the Vice President will provide executive leadership for a number of enterprise‑level initiatives focused on improving access, quality, and system performance across Medicine, Diagnostics, and Clinical Support Services. Key areas where initiatives will focus are:
Medical Inpatient Flow and Quality Improvement,
Primary Care,
Advancing Diagnostic Imaging to Enhance Patient Care Delivery,
Laboratory Optimization, and
People, Quality, Financial and System Leadership.
The ideal candidate is a senior healthcare leader with demonstrated experience leading large, complex clinical operations within an academic or acute‑care health system . They are experienced and confident in managing large unionized teams, and understand the importance of working closely with both union partners and labour relations colleagues. They are experienced supporting accreditation and regulatory compliance, and leading quality and safety initiatives. In addition, come from roles where they demonstrated system-facing responsibilities, including engagement with Ontario Health, the Ministry, and academic partners. Furthermore they will bring:
An undergraduate degree in a relevant healthcare, health sciences, or related field and ideally a master’s degree in a related health or business administration.
Minimum 10 years of progressive senior leadership experience within a large, complex, and preferably multi‑site acute or academic healthcare organization.
Demonstrated experience working within a research‑intensive, academically affiliated environment, supporting education, research, and innovation alongside clinical service delivery.
A strong understanding of Ontario’s publicly funded healthcare system, including accountability frameworks, system performance expectations, and partnerships.
The credibility, judgment, and leadership maturity to work effectively with physician leaders, academic partners, executive colleagues, labour partners, and external stakeholders.
A clinical background is not required; however, the successful candidate will demonstrate strong clinical and operational credibility, systems thinking, and the ability to lead across highly complex, interdependent services. Known for an empathetic, steady, and resilient leadership style, this individual balances compassion with disciplined execution and maintains a consistent focus on productivity, efficiency, quality improvement, and trust‑based leadership across Medicine, PaLM, Medical Imaging, and IPAC.
