Lead the people, partnerships and performance behind exceptional surgical care.
Sauk Prairie Healthcare | Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin
Some healthcare leadership positions are about maintaining an operation. This opportunity is about leading one forward.
Why this role matters
The Director of Surgical Services has the opportunity to influence much more than day-to-day OR operations.
You’ll lead a complex clinical operation while helping shape its future by aligning people, quality, capacity, resources and strategy. The current role includes establishing departmental goals and metrics aligned with SPH's strategic plan; making operating and capital budget decisions; developing new programs and services; leading performance improvement; and partnering on OR block utilization strategies.
Who we're looking for
You’re an experienced surgical nursing leader who understands that exceptional OR performance depends upon more than clinical expertise. You know how to build trust with surgeons. You develop strong teams. You can move comfortably between a patient-care question, a staffing challenge, an operational bottleneck, a quality opportunity and a strategic discussion. And when something needs to change, you don’t simply manage the change. You bring people with you.
Required qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Nursing, Healthcare Administration or Business Administration.
3-5 years of clinical experience in a surgical setting.
At least 3 years of nursing management experience.
Current Wisconsin Registered Nurse license.
Preferred
Master's degree.
