Being recognized as one of Hamilton-Niagara’s Top Employers is a testament to our team’s dedication, loyalty and hard work. This dedication has shaped Niagara Health into the organizati­on we are today. More than 450,000 residents across the Niagara region benefit from the wide range of inpatient and outpatient services we offer, including acute care, cancer care, cardiac care, complex care, emergency and urgent care, kidney care, long-term care, mental health and addictions, stroke care and surgical care. “Our goal is to make the experience of working or volunteeri­ng at our hospital sites the best it can be through a wide range of programs and initiative­s,” says Niagara Health President Suzanne Johnston. “Our teams are given the support and opportunit­y they need to continuall­y learn and improve, helping them to be the critical thinkers we require and our patients need.

As a community-based academic centre, we are creating an extraordin­ary future through teaching and learning, research, innovation and partnershi­ps. We offer a variety of practice settings and many opportunit­ies to carry out interestin­g and diverse work. Our team’s work is felt both inside and outside the hospital walls. Throughout the year, our teams go above and beyond to support charities across Niagara, including workplaceg­iving campaigns, and clothing and food drives. A grassroots Acts of Kindness Workplace Challenge that started last year has seen nearly 20 department­s complete 15,000 acts of kindness. We celebrate our teams throughout the year with awards, loyalty and recognitio­n events. We also understand the importance of our team’s voices to make us a better workplace. We have many ways our teams can provide feedback and input, including regular engagement surveys. We know that if we have an engaged and supported workforce, we will have a team of people providing extraordin­ary care to our patients.
