If you are looking for a work environment of friendliness, professional encouragement and support than Groves Memorial Community Hospital is for you!
How are we different? Our hospital provides a sense of belonging, you are part of a team that knows you. Every day is different, in rural medicine you get to utilize all your skills instead of just one specialty. We have horse and buggy parking but also have electric car charging stations, we are versatile and continue to be innovative with our technology and carbon footprint.
If you are looking for something different, work with us. Many of our staff came from larger city centres looking for a quieter home and work life.
Our catchment area includes three, rural, acute care hospitals:
- Groves Memorial Community Hospital
- Louise Marshall Hospital
- Palmerston & District Hospital
Serving the communities of:
- Centre Wellington (Elora, Fergus, Belwood)
- Minto-Mapleton (Clifford, Drayton, Harriston, Palmerston)
- Mount Forest and Area (Mount Forest, Arthur, Southgate)
See below the great ways that we are deliberately different than the rest!
We are Rural, but not Remote
We are Close-Knit
We Wear Many Hats
Balance is Our Superpower!
