• Skilled at improving workflows, productivity, and patient experience
• Able to coach staff while maintaining accountability
• Calm and solutions-focused in a busy clinical environment

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation will be based on experience and qualifications.

The organization offers a comprehensive benefits package and participates in HRSA and Pennsylvania loan-repayment programs, subject to eligibility. Credentialing generally takes approximately three to four weeks, although payer enrollment may continue after the start date.

The Primary Care Site Director will directly influence the quality, culture, and performance of a busy community health location.

This is an opportunity to continue practicing clinically while developing providers, improving operations, and expanding access to high-quality care for underserved patients.
