This leader will help bring structure, urgency, accountability, and alignment to a growing healthcare operation while supporting consistency across multiple locations. A major first-year priority will be centralizing customer service and improving the consistency of the patient experience across sites. The COO will focus on increasing patient retention, supporting overall patient volume growth, strengthening encounter metrics, and ensuring operational workflows are clear, measurable, and scalable. This role requires someone who is comfortable using data, dashboards, and performance metrics to identify gaps, present solutions, and help teams execute. The COO will work closely with the CEO, CMO, CFO, clinical leadership, facilities, HR, CMS-related functions, and site-based teams to support operational planning, staffing, access, workflow improvement, space planning, and service delivery. This is not a purely corporate office role. The organization wants a visible, accessible leader who is willing to spend meaningful time inside the clinics, understand frontline realities, and work alongside leaders and staff to solve operational issues. The right person will bring a blend of strategist, operator, change agent, and coach. They will be expected to hold leaders accountable without leading with an “iron fist,” communicate clearly, welcome feedback, and model the same humility, teamwork, and service mindset expected throughout the organization. Why This Role Stands Out Culture values teamwork, humility, proactive communication, and solution-oriented leadership. High-impact executive role with direct visibility to the CEO and close strategic partnership with the CMO and CFO. Meaningful operational scope across multiple locations, facilities, clinical departments, customer service, and growth initiatives. Strong fit for a leader who enjoys both strategy and hands-on clinic operations. Chance to shape systems, workflows, accountability standards, and leadership practices across a growing healthcare organization.

A team-oriented leader who listens well, communicates clearly, and earns trust across executive, clinical, administrative, and frontline teams. Someone who can identify problems, bring forward practical solutions, and follow through with measurable execution. A leader who is comfortable with growth, speed, ambiguity, accountability, and change management. A humble, accessible executive. Someone who can balance operational discipline with a supportive leadership style. Job Duties & Responsibilities Provide executive leadership for
