  • Track record of success in strategic planning, financial management, and execution of growth initiatives
  • Strong financial acumen, including budgeting, forecasting, and performance analytics in a multi-site healthcare environment
  • Experience working effectively with physician boards and navigating complex governance structures
  • Master’s degree required; MBA, MHA, or equivalent advanced degree preferred

    • Personal Attributes
