Valley Children’s Healthcare seeks a collaborative, relational, and compassionate physician leader to serve as its next Senior Vice President & Chief Physician Executive (CPE). Reporting to the President and Chief Administrative Officer, the CPE is responsible for leading a nationally distinguished clinical enterprise to the highest levels of pediatric care across the region.
Valley Children’s Healthcare was founded more than 70 years ago by five visionary mothers who dreamed of establishing a children’s hospital to provide high-quality healthcare for the Valley’s children close to home. Over the last 70 years, that vision has grown into one of the largest pediatric healthcare networks in the nation, seeing over 600,000 patients across the spectrum of care. Valley Children’s offers highly specialized medical and surgical services to care for children with conditions ranging from common to the highly complex at the 358-bed stand-alone children’s hospital that includes 28 regional NICU beds, seven regional specialty care centers, nine pediatric primary care practices and women’s health services.
As the key physician executive within Valley Children’s, the CPE will be an important contributor to the future strategic vision and leadership that delivers nationally leading care that is unified across the clinical enterprise. The CPE is an instrumental driver in designing, strategizing and implementing a centralized approach in advancing excellence in clinical care and care delivery. The CPE will have oversight into matters related to provider performance and will enhance a culture that promotes the highest quality of care across all sites. Creating a structure and plan for clinical service delivery, this physician leader will be responsible for developing new care models that transcend traditional care delivery settings, promoting care access and enhancing the patient and family experience across the clinical enterprise.
The CPE will understand managing clinical operations and driving performance within a matrixed and continuously evolving environment and have leadership experience within a fast-growing market. Excellent interpersonal skills and a reputation of trust, credibility, fairness and high standards of professionalism are necessary for this physician leader. Candidates must possess an M.D. or D.O. degree with appropriate board certification. Candidates must also be eligible for a medical license in the state of California.
