Collaborative Culture : Work with forward-thinking executives who welcome expertise and fresh perspective.
California Lifestyle : Enjoy a beautiful and vibrant location with year-round sunshine, whether you're commuting in or relocating temporarily.
Stability Meets Strategy : While the hospital seeks a permanent CAO, this role is critical for continuity and progress.
A proven ambulatory operations leader , ideally at the executive or senior director level.
Skilled in multi-site clinic management , operational turnarounds, and physician partnerships.
Known for your ability to drive change, build trust, and get results.
Previous interim experience is a plus, but not required.
