Mount St. Mary Hospital CEO Recruitment
January, 2025
The Board of Directors of Mount St. Mary Hospital in Victoria, BC, is seeking a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) whose dynamic leadership will continue the positive momentum and values-centred culture that our long-term care facility has established over many years. Due to the retirement of our current CEO in June 2025, the Board is soliciting expressions of interest from experienced senior professionals in healthcare and other public sector organizations.
About Us
Mount St. Mary Hospital, founded by the Sisters of St. Ann in 1876 and owned and operated by the Marie Esther Society, is a beautiful and well-maintained long-term care facility in downtown Victoria. We are a Catholic healthcare organization dedicated to providing compassionate, person-centred care to adults of all faiths who require complex care support. We are committed to meeting the physical, spiritual, intellectual, social, and emotional needs of all those we serve, in partnership with their families, friends, and other healthcare providers. Our well-deserved reputation as a preferred long-term care facility is highlighted in the comment of a family member of one of our residents:
“Your theme of ‘caring and compassion’ is evident in everything your staff does for your residents and those who love them and come to visit. I know that my Mom felt loved and cared for every day she was with you. Thank you again for having such a wonderful place for our loved ones to be cared for in such a beautiful way.”

- Report to the Board of Directors and serve as the senior executive member for the organization;
