• Ensure enterprise strategy is embedded in division initiatives by aligning programs to enterprise strategic priorities and enterprise-enabled capabilities, and tracking adoption and impact through agreed measures.
• Lead Regulatory / Certificate of Need (CON) growth pathways where applicable—coordinating strategy, timelines, and submissions in partnership with government relations, legal/compliance, finance, facilities, and operations to enable division growth plans.
• Serve as a strategic extension of the Division President in priority external relationships and collaborations aligned to division strategy (e.g., provider partnerships, community stakeholders, and strategic counterpart engagements).
• Partner with enterprise-led functions (e.g., managed health, enterprise services, enterprise business development) to align division plans with payer/value-based/employer initiatives, partnerships/JVs, and inorganic growth efforts—ensuring division integration and value capture.
