Health PEI, Prince Edward Island’s single health authority, is responsible for the delivery of publicly funded health services across the province. With a budget of over $700M and employing approximately 6350 staff, Health PEI oversees a diverse continuum of health services provided through its hospitals, primary care network, public long-term care nursing facilities, and community-based programs and services. Highly committed to ensuring the ongoing delivery of safe and quality health care, Health PEI’s vision is to be PEI’s One Island Health System supporting improved health for all Islanders.
In January 2021, Health PEI realigned its leadership structure to create a stronger organization, by streamlining decision-making, breaking down barriers between programs, improving overall coordination of the health care system and providing responsive services to the increasing needs of Islanders. It is within this exciting context that Health PEI is now seeking an Executive Director, Community Health and Senior’s Care.
Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer (COO), the Executive Director (ED), Community Health & Senior’s Care provides progressive executive leadership to a multi-sector, multi-disciplinary team within Health PEI. The ED advises, leads and supports the COO in ensuring the effective and efficient operation of provincial services and programs in the areas of Primary Care and Chronic Disease Management, Public Health Nursing & Early Childhood Services, Community Specialist Services, Home-Based Care and Long-term Care. The ED coordinates and leads provincial initiatives related to this portfolio, while promoting collaborative relationships with a focus on an integrated service delivery model.
Health PEI welcomes interest in the Executive Director position from individuals who possess a minimum of a Master’s degree (or related clinical degree including Medicine) combined with extensive leadership experience in health or social program delivery. You bring demonstrable experience and knowledge in the areas of program development, coordination, delivery and evaluation processes and nursing resource planning and management. Health PEI will benefit from your skill in establishing effective relationships and partnerships with key stakeholders, both internal and external, and in your experience working with government and non-government agencies, professional and para-professional groups, unions and other stakeholders. Innovative and solutions-oriented with a bias to action, you are a genuine, inspiring and values-based leader who is visible, engaging, transparent, team-oriented and highly collaborative.
