Quality Life. Quality Work.

NORTH SIMCOE HOSPITAL ALLIANCE

Director of Patient Services/Chief Nursing Officer

The North Simcoe Hospital Alliance, established in 1992, is the voluntary partnership between Huronia District Hospital (HDH) in Midland and the Penetanguishene General Hospital (PGH) in Penetanguishene. HDH provides 71 acute beds, a 24 hour emergency department, general surgery and obstetrics. PGH provides excellence in long-term care through an active rehabilitation unit and day hospital, 30 complex continuing care, 6 palliative and 36 interim long-term care beds. The hospitals have been serving these communities since 1905 and are proud to offer big city services and technology in a welcoming and caring, small-town environment. This voluntary Alliance was in the vanguard of health care service integration and is a model for how organizations can collaborate.

Midland/Penetanguishene is located in historic Huronia on beautiful Georgian Bay, 90 minutes north of Toronto. The communities offer affordable in-town, country and waterfront housing, Francophone cultural opportunities, unmatched four-season recreation, excellent French and English schools, live theatre and some of Ontario's major tourist attractions.

The Alliance is seeking a new Director of Patient Services/Chief Nursing Officer. A member of the Alliance’s senior management team, the Director will assume a leadership role, be involved in the strategic planning for the Alliance and have lead responsibility for quality and risk, professional practice and CNO responsibilities. The Director is also responsible for patient services across all of HDH and PGH’s departments.

This is an opportunity to join an organization offering a full array of services and one that runs many innovative programs in response to the needs of an ever-changing region. An inspiring and motivating leader, you have a Masters degree in Nursing, Health Care Administration or a related discipline coupled with a certificate of competency from the College of Nurses, and a minimum of five years progressive management experience.
