About Clive Behavioral Health (CBH)

Clive Behavioral Health (CBH) is a modern, state‑of‑the‑art, 100‑bed licensed inpatient behavioral health hospital. CBH opened in February 2021 and provides inpatient, intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization services for adult, child & adolescent patients experiencing a severe behavioral health crisis. Care at our new hospital focuses on crisis management, stabilization, and development of a plan to return to community living.

The Chief Nursing Officer is a key member of our Senior Leadership Team who will integrate and coordinate a patient‑centric nursing strategy with a keen focus on patient care; ensuring that delivery of high‑quality and cost‑effective health care is consistent with the mission, vision, and values of Universal Health Services and in accordance with government regulation, licensing and accreditation requirements. The CNO participates in the hospital’s strategic planning and contributes to the achievement of institutional goals and objectives.

The CNO will focus on 5 key areas:
People, Service, Quality, Growth, and Finance.

We have an active Nursing Council based on shared governance and evidence‑based practice.
