About HPHA

The Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance (HPHA) is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, which consists of 11 elected (voting) and nine ex-officio (non-voting) members.

The Board of Directors play an important leadership role in supporting the alliance’s strategic goals and directions, monitoring quality and overseeing financial resources while ensuring hospital services continue to meet the needs of our communities.

Join Our Board of Directors & Board Committees

The Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance (HPHA) Board of Directors is recruiting community members for the following positions:

  • Two individuals from the catchment area of the HPHA to join the Board of Directors, and
  • Three individuals from each of the four hospital catchment areas - Clinton, St. Marys, Seaforth and Stratford - to join our Board Committees (Governance & Stakeholder Relations, Quality, Resources & Audit). 

Prospective candidates will bring their skills, expertise and experience to the HPHA's Board of Directors/Board Committees, and demonstrate a strong commitment to our communities and the organization, aligned with the HPHA's Values, Vision, Mission and Guiding Principles.

Individuals interested in making a positive, sustained impact on our local health system and on the health and wellness of those we represent are encouraged to join the upcoming Virtual Information Session to find our more about our organization and the positions advertised.
