Executive Director – Inner City Health Associates
Founded in 2005, Inner City Health Associates (ICHA) has evolved and grown rapidly, while always rooted in their commitment to providing equity-driven and community-focused care. It started as a small collaboration of physicians and is now a major provider of interdisciplinary health services to people experiencing homelessness across the GTA, including significant outputs in public health, education and research. This expansion in size and scope has necessitated an ongoing evolution of the organization’s leadership model. While it started as a grassroots physician collective, ICHA has increasingly formalized its organizational structures to ensure its ability to deliver high-quality health care and to meet its obligations to its community and its funders.
The current move to consolidate leadership in a single Executive Director comes after years of exponential growth in the organization’s mandate, staff, funding and complexity. ICHA is uniquely positioned to serve as a local, national and international leader in the provision of excellent community-grounded health care, and in offering public health, education and research outputs that will improve the health and wellbeing of people experiencing homelessness. It is time to centralize the leadership of the organization in one person, overseeing a strong leadership team including an empowered medical director.
Qualifications
The Executive Director will bring experience in health care administration, serving and partnering with marginalized communities, and will advance ICHA’s strategic vision of providing health services that contribute to the end of homelessness. The new Executive Director will be a senior healthcare leader who demonstrates a strong health equity lens and a community development and empowerment approach. The ideal candidate will possess a Master of Health Administration (MHA), MBA or equivalent leadership training. In addition, this person will possess five (5) years of senior change leadership experience in, and a passion for, community health care, homelessness or related setting with a particular focus on community-based care and integration.
