MAHC maintains strong affiliations with academic partners, including NOSM University, and supports medical education and research activities that contribute to the advancement of healthcare across the region.
MAHC is seeking an accomplished and collaborative physician leader to serve as Chief of Staff.

In partnership with the President & CEO, the Chief of Staff contributes to strategic planning, clinical resource planning, and the evaluation and advancement of programs and services. The successful candidate will bring a system perspective and a commitment to ensuring that clinical priorities are aligned with organizational goals and the current and future healthcare needs of the communities served by MAHC.
