Contributing to the advancement of health care, education, and research, St. Joseph’s is a partner in the region’s academic health sciences community.

The Positions
With a recently developed new strategic plan and bold new vision, St. Joseph’s continues to advance its commitment to integrated care, innovation, and exceptional patient experiences. To support its ambitious and people-centred mission, the organization is seeking two visionary clinical leaders to join its senior executive team and help shape the future of care across its diverse programs, services and communities. Reporting to the President and CEO, each Vice President (VP) will provide executive leadership over a wide-ranging clinical portfolio that reflects the complexity and breadth of services at St. Joseph’s. One of the VPs will have accountability for surgery, ambulatory medicine, urgent and emergent care, and imaging. The other will oversee long-term care, rehabilitation, palliative care, complex care, veterans care, and specialized geriatric services. In addition to broad program operational responsibility, one of the VPs will also serve as Chief Nursing Executive, with oversight of professional practice and the organization’s health sciences academic mandate.
This is a meaningful and rare opportunity to join an organization with a proud legacy, a powerful mission, and a clear vision for the future of health care. These roles require executives with a passion for collaboration and partnership in service to a common purpose. They must be able to navigate complexity with clarity, support a culture rooted in compassion and excellence, and help strengthen the organization’s role as a trusted anchor in the communities it serves. Each VP will work across disciplines and sites to strengthen seamless and integrated care, champion quality and safety, and lead system-wide improvements that elevate care for patients, residents, families, staff and clinicians.
