• Ensure regulatory excellence (CLIA, CAP, Joint Commission)
• Drive a culture of quality, accountability, and patient safety
• Partner with clinical and administrative leaders to improve service delivery
• Lead strategic initiatives, including technology upgrades and process improvements
• Build, develop, and retain a high-performing, engaged team
• Champion innovation and change management to modernize lab services

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking a confident, forward-thinking leader who thrives in a fast-paced clinical environment.

Required Qualifications:
