Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare (MAHC) is inviting passionate, community-minded individuals to apply for upcoming vacancies on its Board of Directors and play a meaningful role in shaping the future of healthcare in Muskoka and East Parry Sound.
Committed to fostering a Board that reflects the diversity of the communities it serves, MAHC strongly encourages applications from individuals and groups who are currently underrepresented.
Serving as a volunteer Director at MAHC offers a unique opportunity to contribute strategic leadership during an exciting period of transformation for the organization. The skills-based Board provides governance oversight, ensures financial accountability, and supports MAHC in delivering high-quality, patient-centered care to the communities it serves.
“Joining the MAHC Board is a chance to make a lasting impact on local healthcare,” says Carla Clarkson-Ladd, Chair of the Nominations Committee. “We are seeking individuals who bring diverse perspectives, strong leadership skills, and a passion for community service to help guide the future of healthcare in Muskoka and area”.
Directors are appointed for up to a three-year term and are expected to dedicate approximately 25 hours per month to meeting preparation, committee participation, and Board-related activities. Board and standing committee meetings typically alternate between the Huntsville and South Muskoka hospital sites, with some meetings held virtually.
Recruitment is open to individuals aged 18 and older who live, work, or are registered on a municipal voters’ list or tax roll within the Muskoka or East Parry Sound region. Prior experience on boards or committees with similar scope and complexity, though not necessarily in healthcare—is considered an asset. A police criminal record check is required.
For those who may not be ready to commit to serving as a full Board Director, MAHC encourages individuals to consider applying as a Committee Appointee Member (CAM) on a Standing Board Committee. CAM appointments are for a one-year term and are renewable. Committee Appointee Members are asked to commit approximately three to five hours every two months to prepare for and attend meetings. Standing Committees that may include CAMs are the Resources & Audit Committee, the Quality & Patient Safety Committee, and the Governance Committee.
The application deadline is March 9, 2026. To learn more about this rewarding volunteer leadership opportunity and to apply, visit Become a Board Member | Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare Only applicants selected for an interview will be contacted.
