The CAN Health Network is helping build a stronger, more competitive Canadian economy by connecting healthcare operators with Canadian technology companies to bring innovative solutions into the healthcare system. As a federally funded national network, CAN Health works with healthcare organizations, known as Edges, to identify pressing challenges and match them with Canadian‑made solutions that can be validated, procured, and scaled across the country.

At the heart of CAN Health’s work, the communications team plays a key role in telling the story of our national impact, partnerships, and Commercialization projects.

The Communications Advisor helps translate the work of our healthcare organizations, Canadian companies, and internal teams into clear, compelling communications that strengthen CAN Health’s brand, support stakeholder engagement, and showcase the value of Canadian health innovation.

CAN Health’s headquarters is in downtown Oakville, where you will work, collaborate, and build relationships with colleagues and partners. As a national Network, CAN Health also works closely with team members and stakeholders across Canada.

This position offers a flexible hybrid/remote work arrangement. Team members who reside within the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) are expected to work from our Oakville office three days per week to support collaboration, team engagement, and in‑person meetings, or as needed.

Candidates located outside the GTHA but within Canada are welcome to apply and may work fully remotely. We are committed to supporting a distributed workforce and fostering strong connections across our national team.
