Who we are
Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) play a key role in Ontario’s health care system. Working in partnership with patients, families, providers and community organizations, LHINs ensure people have access to the health care they need — at home and in the community.
Through a dedicated team of 400+ employees, the Waterloo Wellington LHIN provides care to almost 39,000 patients each year, including more than 5,800 children. Our work ranges from providing information and referral services, to supporting transitions between hospital, adult day programs, long-term care, and respite or convalescent care.
All applications will be reviewed; however, only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
We are committed to a culture that values diversity and inclusion.
We welcome and encourage applications from people with disabilities, and are committed to providing accommodation as part of our hiring process. If you have special requirements, please advise Human Resources during the recruitment process.
