First Nations peoples have lived on this part of Turtle Island for millennia, stewarding the land, the water and all that contributes to life in this region. Today, the culture and presence of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples enrich the lands and people of this territory. More than two centuries ago, the Mississauga people welcomed settlers to this territory, providing sustenance and engaging in trade and commerce. Today, York University campuses are located on the Toronto Purchase Treaty No. 13 lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the lands of the Anishinabek of the Williams Treaties First Nations. Our campuses are also situated on the traditional territories of the Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee. Treaty history is foundational, and it is our collective responsibility to honour the land, as we honour and respect those who have gone before us, those who are here and those who have yet to come. We are grateful for the opportunity to be learning, working and thriving on this land, and we commit to learn the truth and be active in the process of reconciliation.

Leading some of the organization’s most clinically complex and resource‑intensive services, the VP plays a critical role in advancing high‑quality, evidence‑informed, patient‑centred care within Ontario’s publicly funded healthcare system – balancing clinical excellence, operational performance, and stakeholder expectations in an increasingly constrained and high‑demand environment.
In alignment with LHSC’s Renewal Plan, the Vice President will provide executive leadership for a number of enterprise‑level initiatives focused on improving access, quality, and system performance across Medicine, Diagnostics, and Clinical Support Services.

Medical Inpatient Flow and Quality Improvement,
Primary Care,
Advancing Diagnostic Imaging to Enhance Patient Care Delivery,
Laboratory Optimization, and
People, Quality, Financial and System Leadership.
The ideal candidate is a senior healthcare leader with demonstrated experience leading large, complex clinical operations within an academic or acute‑care health system. They are experienced and confident in managing large unionized teams, and understand the importance of working closely with both union partners and labour relations colleagues. They are experienced supporting accreditation and regulatory compliance, and leading quality and safety initiatives. In addition, come from roles where they demonstrated system-facing responsibilities, including engagement with Ontario Health, the Ministry, and academic partners. Furthermore they will bring:
An undergraduate degree in a relevant healthcare, health sciences, or related field and ideally a master’s degree in a related health or business administration.
Minimum 10 years of progressive senior leadership experience within a large, complex, and preferably multi‑site acute or academic healthcare organization.
Demonstrated experience working within a research‑intensive, academically affiliated environment, supporting education, research, and innovation alongside clinical service delivery.
A strong understanding of Ontario’s publicly funded healthcare system, including accountability frameworks, system performance expectations, and partnerships.
The credibility, judgment, and leadership maturity to work effectively with physician leaders, academic partners, executive colleagues, labour partners, and external stakeholders.
A clinical background is not required; however, the successful candidate will demonstrate strong clinical and operational credibility, systems thinking, and the ability to lead across highly complex, interdependent services. Known for an empathetic, steady, and resilient leadership style, this individual balances compassion with disciplined execution and maintains a consistent focus on productivity, efficiency, quality improvement, and trust‑based leadership across Medicine, PaLM, Medical Imaging, and IPAC.
