Full-Time | Executive Leadership | Florida's Treasure Coast

Position Summary
The Chief Medical Officer (CMO) is Treasure Health's senior physician executive, driving clinical excellence, regulatory compliance, and forward-thinking program development.

The CMO reports directly to the CEO and partners closely with executive leadership on strategy and growth.

Key Responsibilities
- Provide medical direction across all care services.
- Lead the identification, design, and implementation of new clinical programs and service lines, staying current on emerging healthcare models, payment structures, and best practices
- Own regulatory compliance and quality performance — monitoring outcomes, safety, and documentation standards, and ensuring survey and audit readiness
- Set and enforce clinical practice standards for physicians and APRNs, addressing performance through coaching and structured improvement
- Drive strategic growth through new service lines, community partnerships, and referral relationships
- Represent the organization externally as a clinical ambassador to hospitals, SNFs/ALFs, and physician partners
