Position: Clinical Program Director, Women’s and Children’s Health Program
Status: Permanent, Full Time
Department: Patient Care Services, Women’s and Children’s Health Program
Posted Date: Friday November 1, 2024 – Friday November 15, 2024 at 11:59PM EST
Base Rate: $135,900 – $203,900 (salary band placement to commensurate with experience)
Trillium Health Partners (THP) is one of the largest community-based acute care facilities in Canada. Comprised of Credit Valley Hospital (CVH), Mississauga Hospital (MH), Queensway Health Centre (QHC), and in addition to several satellite locations, THP serves the growing and diverse populations of Mississauga, West Toronto, and surrounding communities, and is a teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Toronto and other academic institutions. The THP Institute for Better Health (IBH), focuses on population health through applied research, supporting innovation to improve patient outcomes and create a sustainable health care system.
Our Mission: A New Kind of Health Care for a Healthier Community
When we set out to build a vision for our future, we connected with our community - patients, families, visitors, professional staff, staff, learners, and volunteers. Our mission - a new kind of health care for a healthier community – envisions an inter-connected system of care, organized around the needs of people, inside and outside the hospital. The foundational goals of our strategic plan - quality, access, sustainability, and equity – are part of everything we do.
At THP, we are relentless in our aim to provide high quality, compassionate care to our community and we take immense pride in fostering an accessible and inclusive environment where all are welcome and treated with respect and dignity. Within multi-disciplinary and inter-professional care models, we are all jointly accountable for contributing to a healthy and safe environment that supports healing and promotes excellence in patient care by prioritizing both patient safety and the well-being of our people. As an organization, we are actively working with intention to become anti-racist.
If you are passionate about service, motivated to improve the health of a diverse community, and committed to having a impact on the health of women, children, and equity-deserving groups, consider joining our Better Together team!
THE OPPORTUNITY
In September 2023, THP and the Government of Ontario announced that the future Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital (PGMH) at THP will be home to the first community-based Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Ontario. In May of 2024, the Shah Family Women’s and Children’s Hospital was named in recognition of a monumental gift to the community from the Shah Family Foundation. This new hospital will be an integral part of an integrated system of care for children, women and those who identify outside the gender binary, including those who are members of equity-deserving groups, and will transform the health of our community for generations to come.
As we plan for this new build, we will continue on our integration journey to create one patient and one provider experience by temporarily collocating all birthing, postpartum, neonatal intensive care, and paediatric inpatient activity to CVH until the opening of the new hospital. This consolidation of services is planned for 2025. The Clinical Program Director (‘Director’), in partnership with the Vice President for the Shah Family Women’s and Children’s Hospital and Chief & Medical Director for the Women’s and Children’s Health Program (‘Program’), will form the basis of the leadership team that will lead this transformation.
THE PROGRAM
The Program - complex, cross-sectoral, multi-sited, and with an annual funding envelope of ~$45M - is one of the largest community-based women’s and children’s programs in the country. The Program is comprised of Level 2C Birthing Suites and Postpartum Services (~8500 births per year); Inpatient Paediatrics (35 beds); Level 2C Neonatal Intensive Care Units (48 beds in total); a full suite of Women’s and Children’s outpatient specialty and subspecialty services; Women’s and Children’s surgical services; community-based Infant and Child Developmental and Behavioural services; and a regional Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence service. To deliver on Program goals, the Women’s and Children’s teams work closely and collaborate with all other clinical programs (Surgery, Oncology, Mental Health, Emergency, ICU and Respiratory Therapy, Anaesthesia, etc.), clinical support services (Lab Medicine and Genetics, Diagnostic Imaging, Pharmacy, etc.), and enabling partners (Professional Practice, Finance, Quality, HR, Decision Support, etc.).
THE POSITION
The Director works in close partnership the Chief & Medical Director to co-lead to advance the integration of women’s and children’s services across THP while ensuring the provision of the highest possible quality of patient care, inclusive of striving for a consistent and exceptional patient and family experience. The Director has accountabilities internally (within the Program and corporately) and externally (with partners across and linked to the Women’s and Children’s health system, including the Mississauga Ontario Health Team).
The Program leadership dyad (the Director and Chief & Medical Director) is responsible for the translation of the THP mission into all aspects of Program planning and for ensuring the delivery of safe, evidence-informed patient care practices in alignment with our goals of quality, access, sustainability, and equity. Together, the dyad is accountable for delivering on HR strategies aimed at fair, diverse, and equitable recruitment and retention of staff and professional staff. The Director is also accountable to co-lead the team to meet deliverables outlined in the annual corporate workplan (e.g. planning and implementation of Major Projects such as Trillium HealthWorks or OneTHP Human Resources Information System (HRIS)).
Reporting to the Director at the Program level are seasoned Patient Care Managers, Clinical Educators, and Nurse Practitioners.

The THP Institute for Better Health (IBH), focuses on population health through applied research, supporting innovation to improve patient outcomes and create a sustainable health care system.
Our Mission: A New Kind of Health Care for a Healthier Community
When we set out to build a vision for our future, we connected with our community - patients, families, visitors, professional staff, staff, learners, and volunteers. Our mission - a new kind of health care for a healthier community – envisions an inter-connected system of care, organized around the needs of people, inside and outside the hospital. The foundational goals of our strategic plan - quality, access, sustainability, and equity – are part of everything we do.
At THP, we are relentless in our aim to provide high quality, compassionate care to our community and we take immense pride in fostering an accessible and inclusive environment where all are welcome and treated with respect and dignity. Within multi-disciplinary and inter-professional care models, we are all jointly accountable for contributing to a healthy and safe environment that supports healing and promotes excellence in patient care by prioritizing both patient safety and the well-being of our people. As an organization, we are actively working with intention to become anti-racist.
If you are passionate about service, motivated to improve the health of a diverse community, and committed to having a impact on the health of women, children, and equity-deserving groups, consider joining our Better Together team!
THE OPPORTUNITY
In September 2023, THP and the Government of Ontario announced that the future Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital (PGMH) at THP will be home to the first community-based Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Ontario. In May of 2024, the Shah Family Women’s and Children’s Hospital was named in recognition of a monumental gift to the community from the Shah Family Foundation. This new hospital will be an integral part of an integrated system of care for children, women and those who identify outside the gender binary, including those who are members of equity-deserving groups, and will transform the health of our community for generations to come.
As we plan for this new build, we will continue on our integration journey to create one patient and one provider experience by temporarily collocating all birthing, postpartum, neonatal intensive care, and paediatric inpatient activity to CVH until the opening of the new hospital. This consolidation of services is planned for 2025. The Clinical Program Director (‘Director’), in partnership with the Vice President for the Shah Family Women’s and Children’s Hospital and Chief & Medical Director for the Women’s and Children’s Health Program (‘Program’), will form the basis of the leadership team that will lead this transformation.
