Chief Executive Officer

KEES has been exclusively retained by Christ Community Health Services Augusta, Inc. (CCH) in its search for a Chief Executive Officer.

Reporting to the Board of Directors, the CEO will oversee 130 team members through 6 direct reports with an annual operating budget of $14M+. CCH is seeking a personable and approachable Christ-centered leader who embodies the organization’s mission and core values and lives an active faith life. This role is ideal for an executive leader wishing to walk openly in their Christian faith in service to others. The successful candidate will excel in relationship-building and interpersonal skills, have prior experience in Board relations, and be a shining example of integrity and best practices in healthcare management. The CEO will have the ability to lead in supporting and caring for the whole person needs of the staff as they care for the patients and community.

The next CEO will bring strong business acumen; be a strategic thinker capable of sustaining momentum with the internal culture and forwarding progress with mission growth; and continue CCH’s work by effectively building relationships with community partners in our diverse community. The leader will be exceptionally knowledgeable and well informed in healthcare management and proven as a grower of people, programs, and culture. Experience in the delivery of Christian missional healthcare and a knowledge of complex and blended funding streams are essential to the next CEO’s success.

Some specific requirements include:

• A minimum of 8 years of management experience in healthcare, preferably faith-based, including planning and analyzing healthcare operations, providing leadership, managing staff, and working with governing boards. Experience with delivery of healthcare in a safety-net setting and/or formal FQHC experience is preferred.
• Ability and capacity to embrace, develop, sustain, and personify the mission and core values of CCH through stages of transition and growth. Cultivate relationships with community partners and civic leaders to leverage support for the mission.
• Track record in financial management, stewardship, and developing strategies to successfully increase revenue, including knowledge of HRSA requirements and relevant healthcare policies at both state and federal levels, all with an underlying role of reporting to and partnering with the Board.
• A collaborative management style that values input and brings an enthusiastic and motivating approach to building strong and productive work teams with a focus on mentoring and nurturing staff development and delegating projects.
• Strong analytic and strategic-thinking skills, with a demonstrated ability to create, implement, and monitor complex plans and then translate those plans into goals and concrete strategies.

Compensation for this role has been recently benchmarked by the Board and KEES and is expected to be in the upper $100,000’s with strong benefits. Relocation can be negotiated based on the specifics of the hired CEO.
