Description & Requirements

Company Overview

CVCA Nashville is opening its doors, and we're looking for an exceptional Hospital Manager to help build our brand-new veterinary cardiology practice from the ground up. This is a rare chance to put your fingerprint on something truly new to shape the culture, operations, and success of a hospital from day one, with the full backing of an established network of veterinary cardiologists.

Excellence in Cardiology, Backed by a Strong Network

CVCA is dedicated to excellence in advanced cardiology, supporting pets and the veterinarians who entrust us with their most critical cases. Our commitment to exceptionally high standards has earned strong community trust and lasting referral relationships across our network. As Hospital Manager, you'll deliver that same standard in Nashville, supported by continuous access to educational resources, internal specialty consultations across disciplines, career advancement programs, and the technology your team needs to practice at the top of their license.

A Culture of Teammates, Not Employees

We believe that a great leader is someone who brings humility, empathy, positivity, and professionalism to everything they do. Great teams are built on accountability, direct communication, mutual respect, and collaboration, and as the leader of this hospital, you'll be the driving force in fostering that environment and hiring a team that embodies these values from the start.

Live and Lead in Nashville, Tennessee

Nashville is an incredible place to live and work, with a world-famous live music scene, a thriving culinary and cultural community, and the energy of one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. Beyond the city, you'll have easy access to lakes, state parks, and the mountains. It's a great combination to have a dynamic community with an exceptional quality of life.

Ready to Build With Us?

If leading a brand-new specialty hospital in a vibrant city sounds like the opportunity you've been waiting for, we'd love to hear from you. Help us lay the foundation for CVCA Nashville and make your mark on the future of advanced cardiac care.
