Board of Directors - Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre
Make each life better. Together.
Location: Barrie, ON, Canada
Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (www.rvh.on.ca), located in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, has a long, proud history of caring for the region, tracing its roots back to 1891 when the first Barrie General Hospital opened with just four beds. In 1897 the renamed Royal Victoria Hospital opened and since then the city and the hospital have shared a story of incredible growth and a dynamic vision for the future. In 2012 we opened our $450 million expansion that doubled the size of the building.
Today, we are well underway with our ambitious plan to transform healthcare in the region with an integrated two-campus model, including doubling the size of the current facility and developing a new Innisfil Campus. We’re also in the process of establishing a new Strategic Plan which makes it an incredibly exciting time to join the Board, as it’s an opportunity to be part of something new and impactful.
We strive to make RVH the best place to work, practice, volunteer and most importantly, to receive care. Core to RVH’s success is a dedicated, compassionate team of over 4500 highly skilled employees, physicians and volunteers. Team RVH works hard every day, without exception – to ensure we are supporting the health centre’s vision to Make each life better. Together.
RVH is currently seeking to recruit three individuals to serve as volunteer Directors on its Board. This role requires senior level leadership experience and involves oversight responsibilities as well as the ability to drive strategic thinking in the context of a complex organization and evolving health system. 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.
In addition, the recruitment and selection process is designed to maintain a board that includes experience/competency in the following areas: government relations, community engagement, business/finance, IT, HR and construction.

Continuing the momentum of the successful integration between the two rural community hospitals, the President and CEO and Board of Directors must prioritize further collaboration among the two sites to guarantee the delivery of optimal health care and systems to the communities served. The President and CEO must foster effective, trusting, and fruitful relationships with internal staff and external constituencies. To advance the LWHA’s mission and vision, the President and CEO must continue to build a coalition of partnerships and networks that engage community healthcare providers and other hospitals and organizations, Ontario Health, the Ministry of Health, and other stakeholders.

Description
The Integrated Forensic Program delivers specialized mental health care for individuals with mental illnesses who have come into contact with the criminal justice system or who are at risk of doing so. We provide assessment and treatment services to improve our clients’ mental health and reduce their risk of re-offending. Our Brockville site offers 2 primary programs within the Integrated Forensic Program – a Secure Treatment Unit (STU) and a Forensic Treatment Unit (FTU)
The Secure Treatment Unit (STU):
The St. Lawrence Valley Correctional and Treatment Centre-Secure Treatment Unit is a 100-bed hybrid correctional facility and mental health centre located on the same campus of the Brockville Mental Health Centre. This facility serves 25 other provincial correctional facilities from across Ontario, and provides comprehensive mental health and criminogenic needs assessments, treatment and discharge planning services for seriously mentally ill adult male offenders serving a provincial sentence (less than two years).
The Secure Treatment Unit is the result of a contractual arrangement between the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group and the Ministry of the Solicitor General. Integrated Forensic Program staff are responsible for the assessment, treatment and day to day supervision of residents while the Ministry of the Solicitor General staff are responsible for security and the overall operation of the building. The Secure Treatment Unit is designed to be more like a hospital than prison like and the health care staffing model is similar to that seen in other academic mental health science centres around the province such that the facility is designated as a schedule 1 mental health centre by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care.
The Forensic Treatment Unit (FTU)
The Forensic Treatment Unit provides secure inpatient and outpatient services to individuals under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Review Board (ORB). This includes people found Not Criminally Responsible or not fit to stand trial.
We follow a recovery-focused model of care to help clients with their rehabilitation and to achieve their goals and potential.

Description
The Integrated Forensic Program delivers specialized mental health care for individuals with mental illnesses who have come into contact with the criminal justice system or who are at risk of doing so. We provide assessment and treatment services to improve our clients’ mental health and reduce their risk of re-offending. Our Brockville site offers 2 primary programs within the Integrated Forensic Program – a Secure Treatment Unit (STU) and a Forensic Treatment Unit (FTU)
The Secure Treatment Unit (STU):
The St. Lawrence Valley Correctional and Treatment Centre-Secure Treatment Unit is a 100-bed hybrid correctional facility and mental health centre located on the same campus of the Brockville Mental Health Centre. This facility serves 25 other provincial correctional facilities from across Ontario, and provides comprehensive mental health and criminogenic needs assessments, treatment and discharge planning services for seriously mentally ill adult male offenders serving a provincial sentence (less than two years).
The Secure Treatment Unit is the result of a contractual arrangement between the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group and the Ministry of the Solicitor General. Integrated Forensic Program staff are responsible for the assessment, treatment and day to day supervision of residents while the Ministry of the Solicitor General staff are responsible for security and the overall operation of the building. The Secure Treatment Unit is designed to be more like a hospital than prison like and the health care staffing model is similar to that seen in other academic mental health science centres around the province such that the facility is designated as a schedule 1 mental health centre by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care.
The Forensic Treatment Unit (FTU)
The Forensic Treatment Unit provides secure inpatient and outpatient services to individuals under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Review Board (ORB). This includes people found Not Criminally Responsible or not fit to stand trial.
