Health Care London Task Force

Dear Health Care Professional: The City of London extends a warm welcome as you contemplate future opportunities and learn more about our fine city. We invite you to consider joining our health care community. By choosing London as an exciting location to build a career, you can be part of a strong network of family physicians, specialty trained physicians, nurses, physiotherapists and other health care professionals. As Canada’s 10th largest city and the regional hub for Southwestern Ontario, London is particularly proud of its strong reputation as a leader in both health care and research. This distinction is due in large part to the collaborative efforts among our two fine hospitals, London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) and St. Joseph’s Health Care, and the University of Western Ontario - one of Canada’s top universities. Strategic partnerships within our institutions have combined to establish London as one of the country’s premier Academic Health Sciences Centres and London-based researchers avidly contribute to medical knowledge and lead the way in health care delivery. Often referred to as The Forest City, London is also a beautiful community with a rich tapestry of culture and many parks, pathways and trees. We take pride in being a clean, safe and prosperous centre, with a high quality of life for Londoners of all ages. And, we are thrilled The Conference Board of Canada has recognized our city as one of the fastest-growing economies in the nation. For the practicing physician, London offers a full range of medical specialties and state-of-the-art diagnostic facilities. We have opportunities to join existing practices and ample office space is also available. All of these factors make London an ideal place to consider when opening a practice or seeking a career in any field of health care. London truly is a champion city and success awaits you here, with our progressive approach and professional health care community.
