Chief Medical Officer

TVHC is a Federally Qualified Health Center in the East Bay with 20 locations: ten primary care clinics, five school-based sites, three mobile vans, and two administrative locations, 400 employees, multiple service lines, and an operating budget of over $50M.   

This collaborative and innovative organization provides valuable healthcare services to over 30,000 patients in the community including some of the most underserved populations with comprehensive services including medical, dental, optometry, podiatry and behavioral health care, WIC, youth health services, health education, and more. 

Why join the TVHC Team?

As the Chief Medical Officer (CMO), you will be the key clinical leader of an established Federally Qualified Health Center with an operating budget of over $50M and an operational footprint that spans ten service sites in the East Bay (including the cities of Hayward, Ashland, Castro Valley Union City, and Fremont).

You will work side by side with the CEO and a committed leadership team to build our clinical service operations strategy, establish the roadmap to operationalize that strategy, and to build mission-driven and innovative teams to ensure continued impact in the lives of our patients and community. 

You get the best of both worlds – you get to be a healthcare strategist and a hands-on leader preparing in continuing to lay the foundation as TVHC innovates and lays the foundation in health care transformation, and bridging culture.

Join a healthcare organization that has enough scale and resources to make a significant impact in the community while still retaining speed and agility in decision-making and a “work-family” environment.
