It has over 1800 births per year. We have a renovated and redesigned advanced level 2a Special Care Nursery (10 beds), a pediatric ward (8-10 beds) and pediatric day surgery. There is also a neonatal and pediatric outpatient clinic that is assisted by an RN/lactation consultant and a diabetic clinic. On call physicians are expected to take consults from the emergency department, obstetricians, midwives and community physicians. Pediatricians admit patients when required and attend at risk deliveries with SCN nurse and RT. Staff also participate in Grand Rounds (Royal College accredited), teaching and quality improvement committees. We are also a teaching site affiliated with McMaster University.

Guelph is constantly ranked as one of Canada’s best places to live.  GGH is also a 20-40 minute drive from Hamilton and the Halton region with minimal traffic. Private on call rooms (bed, desk, TV, bathroom, fridge, microwave, lockers) are provided for physicians who wish to stay at the hospital.

Payment is fee-for-service and a hospital on call stipend, with an added incentive for weekend and holiday calls. Pediatricians participate in a service model. Full time staff will be required to complete 4-5 evening/overnight call including 24h weekend call, as well as 6-7 weeks of service per year.
