Life at WAHA
A beacon of healing, wellness, and innovation, WAHA connects remote communities with the care they deserve. With spellbinding views surrounding each site, team members bask in the tranquility of the land, juxtaposed against a bustling workplace busy addressing the complex needs of the region. Here, we work with purpose, knowing each action matters. Patients are neighbours, family, and colleagues. Each day brings a challenge—the good kind that stretches you, helps you grow, and makes you feel vital. These hurdles birth opportunities to problem solve, develop new skills, and explore new roles. Here, we step into a version of ourselves once forgotten, overlooked by the daily grind, and rediscover a deep connection with ourselves, the land, and each other. Here, we experience work with wonder.

We are an integrated health system providing the full continuum of care to the six communities of the western James Bay coast with over 500 employees, physicians, and partners in care. As a health authority, you will work in a unique setting where you have the opportunity to care for patients in all phases of their life journey, in all areas of their health experience. From Primary, Acute, and Mental Health, Dental, Specialty Clinics, Population Health and the WAHA Paramedic Service, the opportunities for growth are boundless. We provide community-based programming in all six of our communities, have six paramedic bases, three hospitals, four emergency departments, one community health centre and a total of 72 beds. Our guiding goal is to be a centre of excellence in Indigenous and remote healthcare.
