Division Director (VP equivalent) of Clinical Strategy, Innovation, and Care Delivery – Skilled Nursing
BAYADA Home Health Care is seeking an exceptional enterprise clinical executive to serve as our next Division Director of Clinical Strategy, Innovation, and Care Delivery for our Skilled Nursing Practice.
Summary: This is a highly visible, enterprise-level leadership opportunity for a transformational healthcare executive who is ready to shape the future of skilled nursing care at one of the nation's leading home healthcare organizations. This is more than a clinical leadership role. It is an opportunity to define strategy, influence enterprise priorities, transform care delivery, and shape the future direction of a national healthcare organization. You will provide executive leadership across clinical strategy, care transformation, innovation, quality, value-based care, clinical operations, and organizational development, with the opportunity to influence how BAYADA delivers care across multiple markets. The successful leader will operate at both the enterprise and operational level—translating a compelling future-state vision into measurable results while aligning clinical, operational, financial, technology, and business leaders around shared priorities. This is an opportunity for an executive who wants to build what comes next—not simply lead what exists today.
