SMGH proudly serve the residents of Waterloo, Wellington County, and extend their reach to Dufferin, Grey-Bruce and beyond.

Forge collaborative relationships within the St. Joseph’s Health System, and regional hospital partners, particularly in an effort to maximize the impact of health care investments in serving communities in the region.
Experience
The successful candidate will have at least seven to ten years of progressive leadership experience in a similar health service delivery environment. In addition to possessing a graduate degree and accounting designation, the Candidate will be a change agent, inspiring leader, and engaged team player. This is an influential leadership role that requires someone that excels at driving operational efficiency and business strategy in a complex, multi-stakeholder environment. The successful Candidate will have the transformational ability to implement leading practices in fiscal accountability and corporate governance.
