Billings Clinic-Logan Health (BC-LH) is Montana's largest independent, not-for-profit health system and serves communities across Montana, northern Wyoming, and the western Dakotas. Formed through the integration of two respected healthcare organizations, BC-LH is advancing a unified vision focused on delivering exceptional care while keeping patients and families close to home. The system encompasses 25 hospitals, including critical access hospital partnerships, more than 9,000 employees, 1,200 physicians and advanced practice providers, and 80 specialties.
With annual revenue of approximately $2 billion, BC-LH is continuing its transformation into a fully integrated health system through the implementation of enterprise-wide strategies, shared technology platforms, unified culture initiatives, and coordinated service delivery models. The organization has established a system-wide mission, vision, values, strategic roadmap, and balanced scorecard that guide decision making and future growth.
BC-LH seeks a visionary and collaborative Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) to help guide the future direction of Montana's largest independent health system. Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, the CSO will be passionate about rural and frontier medicine and serve as a key architect of enterprise growth strategies, market positioning, partnership development, and long-range planning initiatives designed to strengthen BC-LH's impact across the communities it and its affiliated organizations serve.
This is a unique opportunity to join BC-LH at a transformative point in its evolution. As BC-LH continues to advance integration efforts and execute against a unified strategic roadmap, the CSO will lead initiatives focused on growth, service expansion, innovative care models, regional partnerships, and emerging business opportunities that differentiate the system in an increasingly dynamic healthcare environment.
The successful candidate will partner closely with executive and physician leaders to identify strategic priorities, evaluate market opportunities, monitor competitive trends, and translate vision into measurable action. This executive will play a central role in helping BC-LH navigate the future while maintaining its commitment to local communities and high-quality care.
The ideal candidate will be an enterprise thinker with strong analytical capabilities, healthcare strategy experience, political and organizational savvy, and a demonstrated ability to build alignment across diverse stakeholder groups. BC-LH seeks a leader who embraces collaboration, values team success, and can help cultivate a culture of innovation and shared accountability.
