Lead the Future of Women’s Health at University Health

University Health is seeking an experienced, steady, strategic, and relationship-oriented leader to serve as Senior Director of Women’s Health Clinics. This is an exciting opportunity for an established healthcare leader with a strong background in women's health to guide a comprehensive portfolio of ambulatory services, strengthen physician and community partnerships, and advance the future of women's healthcare throughout the Kansas City region.

The ideal candidate brings sound judgment, operational discipline, strong relationship-building skills, and the ability to lead through growth and change while maintaining a focus on quality, access, patient experience, and financial performance.

Candidates must currently reside in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
