Clinical Business Development Build and maintain relationships with hospital systems, ACOs, physician groups, and other continuum-of-care partners to grow referral volume and strengthen Regalcare's reputation as a preferred post-acute provider. Represent Regalcare's clinical capabilities to external partners, including case managers and discharge planners, through in-person visits, presentations, and ongoing communication. Identify new partnership and program opportunities that align clinical capability with market demand. Data & Initiative Management Collect, track, and analyze clinical and referral data to identify trends, measure program performance, and inform decision-making.

Comfortable interpreting data and using it to guide clinical and operational decisions. Strong communication and presentation skills; able to represent Regalcare confidently to external partners.
