Lady Minto Hospital in Cochrane, Ontario, is currently looking to fill several healthcare positions to support its local medical operations. The facility recently posted new job openings, including an immediate need for a temporary full-time ward clerk.

The ward clerk position is open for applications until April 17, 2026. In addition to this role, the MICs Group of Health Services, which operates the hospital, has been actively seeking registered nurses, registered practical nurses, and support services staff, such as housekeeping, dietary, and laundry personnel.

As a designated employer under the Rural Community Immigration Pilot, the health organization is working to recruit international healthcare workers to help fill these roles. These hiring efforts come as hospitals across Northern Ontario face significant staffing challenges, with reports highlighting a sharp increase in spending on private staffing agencies in the region over the last decade.

Lady Minto Hospital serves as a critical healthcare hub for the region. The facility provides a range of essential services, including a 24-hour emergency department, laboratory services, diagnostic imaging, and physiotherapy.
