What does YOUR success look like? As a Regional Operations Leader at P3, you own overall responsibility for the performance and success of a group of hospitals, including patient care, client service, teamwork, and administration. Success comes from combining an understanding of clinical best practices with strong leadership that develops hospital leaders (Practice Managers and Medical/Facility Directors), enabling them to grow their teams and deliver excellent results. Challenges are viewed as opportunities, and even difficult conversations are approached with fairness and courage. Leadership is not just about professional development, it elevates how hospital leaders, and their teams, show up for one another and for our clients.

Success in this role involves meeting regional goals and, more importantly, it’s about how leadership is practiced every day. Regional Operations Leaders lead with purpose, showing commitment, honesty, adaptability, and clear communication. They are strategic thinkers who work closely with hospital leaders to align decisions with long-term growth, community needs, and organizational priorities. They act quickly to ensure the right people are in the right seats, addressing underperformance or misalignment with fairness and clarity. Collaboration is also essential. Regional Operations Leaders embody a one-team approach, working alongside hospital leaders, and home office colleagues to build mutual respect and trust that extends across hospitals and into the broader community.
