The incumbent also represents the Office of the  Chief Medical Officer in numerous cross-enterprise activities such as Trend Stewardship and the Pharmacy and Therapeutics committee, among others, and leads workstreams when needed.

 The role has direct decision-making authority for strategic direction, prioritization, budget and workforce as it relates to areas of direct responsibility.  This leader will collaborate closely with other stakeholders across the enterprise, including the Clinician Talent Center of Excellence (CoE), leaders in the insurance and CenterWell segments, and the functional areas.
