Cambridge, ON – Cambridge Memorial Hospital (CMH) was recognized today as one of Southwestern Ontario’s Top Employers, marking the second year in a row the hospital has earned this distinction. The designation, awarded by Mediacorp Canada Inc., recognizes organizations that create exceptional workplaces and support their people through meaningful policies, programs, and culture.
The recognition reflects CMH’s continued commitment to building an environment where people feel supported, respected, and able to do their best work—at every stage of their career.
“We’re proud of this recognition because it belongs to our people,” said Mari Iromoto, Vice President, People & Strategy. “It reflects the staff who bring care and compassion to their work and the leaders who support them. It also speaks to our commitment to listening to one another and recognizing the incredible work happening across our hospital.”
CMH’s approach to people and culture is designed to support staff across the full arc of their careers. With a strong focus on growth, wellbeing, and flexibility, the hospital fosters an environment where people feel supported to stay, grow, and thrive while building meaningful careers.
This people-centred approach also strengthens care for the community. When staff feel supported and engaged, patients and families benefit from greater continuity, compassion, and quality of care.
Southwestern Ontario’s Top Employers is an annual competition that evaluates organizations based on eight criteria: workplace culture; work atmosphere and social engagement; health, financial and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications; performance management; training and skills development; and community involvement. Winners are selected following a rigorous review of policies, programs, and outcomes.
The full list of 2026 winners is available through the competition’s online publication.
