Why This Role Stands Out

• True leadership scope: Lead MICU (26 beds) and SICU (15 beds), plus the Stroke Program, Chest Pain Center, and Rapid Response Program
• Room to grow: Help build and oversee a future Progressive Care (step-down) Unit as the program develops
• A meaningful team: Lead and develop about 68 FTEs across a combined census of roughly 25–30 high-acuity patients
• Real influence: Report to the Assistant CNO and help set strategy, budgets, and growth for Critical Care and Cardiology Services
• Strong support: Medical staff across more than 30 specialties, with services ranging from cancer care to wound care

Compensation & Benefits

• Relocation assistance: Available, evaluated case by case

• Health: Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, prescription, and behavioral health coverage
• Growth: Education and tuition assistance
• Time and family: Paid time off and family support benefits
• Lower cost of living than most major metro areas

What You Will Do

• Provide 24/7 leadership accountability for Critical Care/Telemetry, the Stroke Program, and the Chest Pain Center
• Drive clinical quality, patient satisfaction, and productivity
• Partner with physicians, administration, and staff to grow the critical care and cardiology service lines
• Develop policies, procedures, and staff training programs
• Own the department's operating and capital budgets

Who We Are Looking For

• Experience: 2+ years of acute care critical care leadership. Recent acute care is preferred, but a strong leader with a proven ability to turn around challenging teams, develop staff, and drive results will be considered.
