PRHC is among the top 20 hospital employers nationwide, and 245 overall among 300 Canadian employers across all sectors.

“Healthcare workers choose their careers because they care for people, and it is critical in turn that we take care of them,” says Dr. Lynn Mikula, President and CEO of PRHC. “This is why one of our top priorities as an organization is to be a workplace where people can thrive.

PRHC is the region’s largest employer, with more than 3,100 staff, 450 physicians and a group of 250 volunteers delivering acute healthcare to a population of 600,000 in Peterborough and the surrounding communities, including the First Nations of Curve Lake, Alderville and Hiawatha. The 2024-2029 Strategic Plan highlights the hospital’s commitment to being a workplace where people can thrive.

“Every day, our healthcare workers, staff, physicians and volunteers bring the best of themselves to their work, and together, they make this hospital the incredible place that it is,” continued Mikula. “It is wonderful to have PRHC recognized for a second consecutive year as one of the top hospital employers in the country, and we look forward to continuing our work to make PRHC even better as one team, here when you need us most.”

The annual Forbes list of Canada’s Best Employers is developed by asking survey respondents if they would recommend their employer to others based on a range of criteria, including compensation, work flexibility, training opportunities and leadership programs.
