Obstetrician Gynecologist

Obstetrician/Gynecologist

West Lincoln Memorial Hospital (WLMH) has been caring for West Niagara residents for over 70 years. As a community hospital, WLMH provides both inpatient services and outpatient services including emergency services, low intensity rehabilitation, palliative care, surgery, and a maternal and newborn care program. As a site of Hamilton Health Sciences, WLMH also serves as a point of access to one of the largest health systems in Canada for patients requiring more specialized care. Faculty appointment with McMaster University Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology can be available to the candidate with the expectation to provide some teaching to medical trainees at various levels.

WLMH has an exciting opportunity for a full-time Obstetrician/Gynecologist to work along side two busy established Obstetrician/Gynecologists in providing care for low-risk pregnancies, gynecological care and surgery in our newly updated surgical department.  The Obstetrician/Gynecologists also provide consultant support for a large group of family physicians who provide primary care to the community. 

WLMH recently completed an 18 month infrastructure project, including updating the operating rooms, and continues to reintroduce obstetrical and surgical services as well as expanded day surgery procedures post renovation and redirection of services related to COVID-19.  WLMH is in the process of redevelopment, with the new facility slated to open in 2025. The new hospital will have a robust maternal and newborn program. Additionally, the new hospital will double the current operative capacity and include a transition to a Labour/Birth/Recovery/Post-partum (LBRP) model of care. Joining our team presents an exciting opportunity to participate in the planning and design of a brand new hospital.
