President & Chief Executive Officer

Renfrew Victoria Hospital & St. Francis Memorial Hospital                                    

Renfrew Victoria Hospital (RVH) is a 55-bed, hospital located just 45 minutes west of Ottawa, and provides surgical and complex continuing care, as well as emergency services and extensive ambulatory programs. RVH has been designated by the Ministry of Health as the Regional Centre for Renfrew County Nephrology Services providing dialysis and renal care across the County. St. Francis Memorial Hospital (SFMH) is a full-service 20-bed rural hospital located about an hour away in Barry’s Bay and offers a range of inpatient, outpatient and emergency services.

Both hospitals have a long history of collaboration and the successful integration of services both within their communities and with regional partners, and both hospitals have consistently received accreditation with Exemplary Standing from Accreditation Canada. But what really stands out for these hospitals are their cultures. With people who provide excellent care for patients and their families, who support each other and their teams, and who are committed to advancing care within their communities.

RVH and SFMH are jointly seeking an exceptional leader as their next shared President & Chief Executive Officer; a leader who will continue to advance their organizations and be a trusted and dynamic advocate on behalf of the hospitals and the region.

Through a shared services agreement, and reporting to, and working closely with, two voluntary Boards of Directors, the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) will provide dedicated leadership to achieve both hospitals’ goals and objectives. The CEO will be responsible for establishing and maintaining effective relationships between the hospitals and with local partners to advance the interests of the hospitals and contribute to the continuous improvement of the broader healthcare system. The CEO’s primary mandate is to drive innovation, build upon solid team-based cultures, enhance strong community relationships, and ensure that the hospitals continue to provide high quality patient care in an ever-evolving health-care environment.

The CEO plays a fundamental role in advancing the hospital’s vision and strategy, guiding the growth of clinical programs while simultaneously empowering a renewed commitment, ownership and energy across the hospital towards achievement of RVH’s strategic goals. As a key ambassador of RVH, the President and CEO actively manages relationships with key health officials at the provincial and federal levels, as well as with community and health-care partners.

As an ideal candidate, you are a highly respected systems thinker and visionary leader with previous executive level (CEO, CNE, VP, etc.) experience in a complex and dynamic health environment. Colleagues and peers recognize and respect your strong business and political acumen, financial sophistication, track record of change leadership, partnership development and ability to identify opportunities for innovation and agility.

You are an inspiring leader and champion of addressing barriers to equity as you build and develop teams united in a culture of agility and performance excellence at a time of unprecedented change and pressure within our health system. You are an outstanding communicator and relationship builder whose strong commitment to quality patient centered care engenders trust and confidence across a diverse constituency of patients, families, stakeholders, and partners, within a small rural community hospital environment. Having served or participated on several Boards and/or committees, you appreciate the value and impact that sound governance and a healthy Board/CEO partnership can have on an organization.
