Fraser Health

Fraser Health is one of Canada’s largest and most diverse health authorities, delivering hospital and community-based health services to almost 2 million people across 20 vibrant communities from Burnaby to Fraser Canyon. Serving the traditional territories of the Coast Salish and Nlaka’pamux Nations and home to 32 First Nations communities and six Métis Chartered communities, Fraser Health is powered by a dedicated team of nearly 45,000 staff, medical professionals, and volunteers. Our vision: Better Health, Best in Health Care.

We are now seeking a visionary and values-driven leader to serve as our next President and Chief Executive Officer. Reporting to our Board Chair, Opreet Kang, the CEO is responsible for shaping and advancing Fraser Health’s strategic direction, operational excellence, and system leadership within British Columbia’s dynamic health landscape.

The CEO will lead an organization committed to delivering safe, equitable, and innovative care, embedding digital health transformation, and building strong partnerships with Indigenous communities, academic institutions, health partners, and the wider community.

Key Responsibilities Include:

• Leading Fraser Health’s strategic priorities to deliver high-quality and inclusive care.
• Championing a culture of continuous improvement, equity, innovation, and excellence.
• Building digital maturity and leading the adoption of innovative clinical technologies.
• Fostering system-wide partnerships to meet population health needs.
• Representing Fraser Health regionally, provincially, nationally, and internationally.
• Ensuring sound financial stewardship and organizational sustainability.

Candidate Profile:

The ideal candidate will be a seasoned, collaborative executive with a proven track record of leadership at scale within complex health or public sector organizations. You will demonstrate strategic vision, political acuity, and a deep commitment to advancing health equity, Indigenous reconciliation, and workforce innovation.

A skilled and confident communicator, you will be able to develop highly effective relationships to influence and deliver safe and sustainable patient care with provincial partners, community leaders, our physician community and our wider clinical, operational and administrative workforce. Experience in driving innovation, leading transformation, leveraging digital opportunities and system integration will be highly desirable.

You will be a clear, caring, and courageous leader of an organization that is evidence-based and results oriented and, as CEIO, will demonstrate impact through key metrics for Fraser Health and the diverse and broader communities we proudly serve.

This is a unique and high-impact leadership opportunity for an individual who shares Fraser Health’s values of respect, caring, and trust, and who is driven to build one of the most progressive health systems in Canada.
