Site Director

We are also searching for a site director at this location if you are interested in leadership opportunities. A unique opportunity to combine clinical practice with meaningful leadership and program development. This hands‑on leadership role blends active OB hospitalist care with oversight of program quality, team performance, and strategic collaboration with hospital leadership, nursing, and the local OB community.

The hospitalist model allows you to focus entirely on the patient. You can help correct a disparity of care by ensuring that all pregnant women who present to the hospital are evaluated by an experienced physician rather than funneled through the conventional nurse‑led phone triage.

As an OBHG clinician you are the in‑house expert, serving as the maternal safety champion of the entire labor and delivery unit. You'll improve patient safety, reduce maternal mortality rates and help alleviate physician burnout. A typical workday might include collaborating with local private‑practice OB/GYNs, assisting with emergent cases, caring for unassigned patients, overseeing residents or meeting with hospital leaders to design a new quality initiative.
