Job Description:

The CMO at St. Vincent Regional will provide oversight of the medical staff, assure clinical excellence and financial stewardship, help plan and execute the strategic plan, and maintain accreditation/regulatory compliance. As a Physician Executive Lead, St. Vincent’s Chief Medical Officer will also support the development of a high reliability culture and drive performance and measured improvement in service line strategies across the Intermountain Health system.

Intermountain Health’s St. Vincent Regional Hospital, a level I trauma center, is searching for their next Chief Medical Officer. Serving the people of Montana, Wyoming, and the Western Dakotas for more than 125 years, St. Vincent offers primary care clinics in and around the Billings area, dozens of progressive specialty services, and our 286-bed facility has a special “hospital within a hospital” just for children. Along with 1,400+ caregivers, St. Vincent employs 600+ physicians and advanced care professionals, whose work supports a multitude of specialties, such as Cancer Care, Heart & Vascular, Pediatrics, Women's Health, Orthopedics & Spine, Neurosciences, and Emergency & Trauma Care.

Along with offering a chance to work in a stable, strong, mission-based environment, this role provides the opportunity to experience Montana’s diverse culture and incredible landscape. You’ll be able to explore abundant outdoor recreational opportunities, including skiing, hiking, and fishing, as well as stunning national parks and forests, all within hours of where you’ll call home. Becoming a part of the Intermountain team means gaining a family and finding a place to plant your roots.

What’s more, to help doctors decide where to practice, in a comparison of all 50 states and based on their data sets, WalletHub ranked Montana as the best state for doctors to practice. Along with indicating that the Treasure State is a good place for a doctor’s mental health, the results showed that physician burnout is low and that over sixty percent of residents training in Montana relocate permanently—one of the highest retention rates in the country.

Benefits are one of the ways we encourage health for you and your family. Our generous package includes medical, dental, and vision coverage. But health is more than a well-working body: it encompasses body, mind, and spiritual well-being. To that end, we’ve launched a Healthy Living program to address your holistic health. Healthy Living includes financial incentives, digital tools, tobacco cessation, classes, counseling, and paid time off. We also offer financial wellness tools and retirement planning.

The salary range for St. Vincent's CMO is $336k – 381k annually and as determined by prior years of relevant experience. With this position, you are eligible to participate in an annual pay-for-performance opportunity (“AP4P”). This plan enables Intermountain Health to provide leaders with an additional performance compensation opportunity. The AP4P opportunities are calculated as a percentage of your base salary. Awards are paid out based on attainment of selected Intermountain Health Board-approved goals.

To show our commitment to you and assist with your transition into our organization, we may offer a sign-on and relocation bonus when applicable.
