A Brief Overview

The Executive Director of Maternal Child Health is the senior operational and financial leader for the Maternal Child Health service line — an ambulatory practice network spanning Obstetrics & Gynecology, midwifery, maternal-fetal medicine, and pediatrics, coordinated with the hospital-based Labor & Delivery, Neonatal Intensive Care, and Pediatric inpatient services.

This is a service-line leadership role focused on growth, patient experience, physician engagement, and business performance. The Executive Director owns the service line's ambulatory operations, financial performance, multi-year growth strategy, and market positioning. The role is forward-facing and builder-oriented — designed for a leader who can drive volume growth, expand the service footprint, develop new lines of service, build the physician network, and elevate the patient experience across the maternal and pediatric continuum.

The Executive Director reports to the Vice President of the Holy Name Physician Network with matrix reporting to the Chairwoman of Maternal Child Health, who serves as the senior clinical authority for the service line. The Executive Director is the Chairwoman's operational and financial partner, translating her clinical vision into service-line execution.

The role directly oversees the ambulatory operational team — including a Regional Manager for the practice portfolio — and a Director of Inpatient Services who owns the operational leadership, nursing management, and regulatory compliance for the Labor & Delivery, NICU, and pediatric inpatient units. Clinical practice and hospital-wide nursing standards remain under the hospital's clinical leadership.
