Join our Board of Directors

Hospitals have a simple mission; helping people. But sometimes, they need some help of their own and KGH is no exception. During the next few weeks, we are inviting people from across southeastern Ontario to apply to serve on our Board of Directors. We have four vacancies to fill this year on our 18 member Board. Our volunteer Board members provide leadership and direction to the hospital while overseeing key aspects of performance.

Join our Governors Advisory Council

KGH is also accepting applications at this time for our Governors Advisory Council. The KGH Board of Directors appoints Governors to advise them and the Chief Executive Officer on KGH’s priorities and plans. Twelve Governors are selected each year to serve on Board committees. We seek applications from people who have an interest in KGH and live in southeastern Ontario.
