The Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN) is a leading multi-site health system serving one of Ontario’s fastest-growing and most diverse communities. Formed through the merger of Grand River Hospital and St. Mary’s General Hospital, WRHN delivers a comprehensive range of acute, specialized, and community hospital services to more than 1.5 million residents across Waterloo Wellington and beyond. The organization is home to several major regional programs, including one of Ontario’s highest-volume cancer centres, a regional Stroke Centre, and a Regional Cardiac Care Centre recognized nationally for patient outcomes.
At a transformative moment in its evolution, WRHN is advancing one of the most significant healthcare redevelopment initiatives in Ontario. This includes the planning and development of a new acute care hospital at the University of Waterloo’s David Johnston Research + Technology Park, alongside major redevelopment and expansion initiatives across existing hospital sites. Together, these projects will help shape the future of healthcare infrastructure, service delivery, research, education, and innovation across the region. With a long-range redevelopment portfolio spanning multiple sites and phases of implementation, WRHN is positioned to play a defining role in the future of integrated healthcare delivery within one of Canada’s fastest-growing communities.
The Position
The Vice President, Redevelopment (VP) will provide strategic and operational leadership for WRHN’s large-scale redevelopment and infrastructure portfolio. As a senior executive leader and Chief Planning Officer, the VP will oversee a complex, multi-phased portfolio of redevelopment initiatives that includes the planning and implementation of a new acute care hospital, phased redevelopment projects across WRHN’s network, and future infrastructure expansion initiatives.

The VP will work closely with senior leadership, clinical and operational teams, government partners, consultants, municipal stakeholders, foundations, and academic institutions to ensure redevelopment initiatives remain aligned with organizational priorities, evolving models of care, and long-term system growth.
The VP will also play a key leadership role in government relations, advocacy, and partnership development with organizations including the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Infrastructure, Infrastructure Ontario, Ontario Health, and regional and municipal partners. Internally, the role will lead a multidisciplinary redevelopment team and help foster a collaborative, integrated, and future-focused approach to infrastructure planning and project delivery across the organization.
This is a unique opportunity to lead one of Ontario’s most significant and complex healthcare redevelopment portfolios, helping shape the future of healthcare infrastructure and integrated care delivery across Waterloo Region.
The Person

They bring deep expertise in redevelopment planning, infrastructure delivery, capital project governance, and large-scale project execution, along with experience navigating sophisticated approval, procurement, and stakeholder environments. The successful candidate will also bring credibility and established relationships within Ontario’s healthcare capital and redevelopment environment.

They possess strong political acuity, sound judgment, and the ability to lead effectively through complexity, ambiguity, and organizational change.
The successful candidate will bring experience overseeing multiple large-scale infrastructure projects simultaneously, ideally within multi-site or integrated organizational environments, along with exposure to phased redevelopment and P3 project delivery models. A background in engineering, architecture, construction, project management, healthcare administration, business, or a related discipline will be considered an asset.
