In April 2024, the Boards of St. Mary’s General and Grand River Hospitals both independently voted in favour of a voluntary merger of the Hospitals to form a new hospital organization.

We welcome talent to both St. Mary’s General Hospital and Grand River Hospital that are ready to be part of an exciting, generational change for hospital care in Waterloo Region.

As Grand River Hospital and St. Mary’s General Hospital build the “Future of Care” together and a unified new hospital starting in April 2025, they are looking to recruit the digital leadership that will enable the success of a new hospital that delivers innovative care to Ontario’s fastest growing region. More specifically the hospitals are seeking to recruit 3 digital services leaders to make the vision of high quality innovative a reality.
