Overview

CommonSpirit Health was formed by the alignment of Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) and Dignity Health. With more than 700 care sites across the U.S. from clinics and hospitals to home-based care and virtual care services CommonSpirit is accessible to nearly one out of every four U.S. residents. Our world needs compassion like never before. Our communities need caring and our families need protection. With our combined resources CommonSpirit is committed to building healthy communities advocating for those who are poor and vulnerable and innovating how and where healing can happen both inside our hospitals and out in the community.

Contributes to the fulfillment of the CHI Health Mission and Vision by planning, designing, implementing and maintaining programs, policies, and management systems in all facets of patient care administration in assigned departments. Leads the integration of services between departments to assure patient-centered care needs are met and quality, cost-effective care improvements are achieved. Serves as a behavior role model and promotes an awareness and understanding of positive ethical and moral principles. Contributes the CHI Health mission by being deployable to facilities to assume temporary leadership roles.
