Board Member Recruitment
West Haldimand General Hospital Seeks New Board Members
West Haldimand General Hospital (WHGH) is seeking talented, engaged members of our community to join in the pursuit of its mission: to ensure access to quality health care for everyone who enters our doors, by participating as a voluntary member of the Board of Directors.
The WHGH is governed by a sixteen-person Board of Directors, made up of twelve volunteers elected Directors and four ex-officio Directors. This team of skilled, experienced, and committed members of our community provides essential leadership, stewardship, and oversight to WHGH, sets the strategic direction, and monitors organizational and strategic risk.
Board members have a unique opportunity to help shape health care for their community. We invite applications from strategic thinking leaders who reside in the area and are interested in using their expertise to make a difference in the health and well-being of our communities.
Prospective candidates require a commitment to the Hospital and the community, with an awareness of issues facing West Haldimand General Hospital and the healthcare system in general. Those applying should expect to devote approximately 7-10 hours per month of their time on hospital business to participate in regular monthly board meetings – both in person and virtually, (usually 9/year), committee meetings (average 6/year) an annual retreat as well as social/fundraising events as required. Reliable internet service is required.
Directors are appointed for a three-year term for a maximum of nine years.
West Haldimand General Hospital is currently seeking one (1) candidate to serve on its Board of Directors and Board Committee(s) for the 2023-24 Board cycle. While maintaining a skills-based Board is our priority, WHGH also strives for the composition of the Board to reflect the diversity of the communities served. Specifically, to address current needs, we are seeking representation from indigenous communities.
Volunteer your skills and experience to help shape healthcare in rural Haldimand County by providing advice, input, and leadership on a broad range of policy and governance issues.
We invite applications from all those interested in serving in this important role and specifically seek skills and expertise to complement those of our existing members.
