The Women's Services Director will join a mission-driven, patient-first healthcare organization committed to health equity, community benefit, and accessible care for a diverse population. As a high-acuity teaching environment, the hospital offers exposure to complex cases, interdisciplinary collaboration, evidence-based practice, professional development, and opportunities to shape quality and safety initiatives. The Maternal Child Health Director will work within a culture that values frontline feedback, clinician education, shared leadership, and measurable improvements in patient outcomes. The Labor and Delivery Director will lead a comprehensive Women's Services program encompassing labor and delivery, obstetrics, postpartum care, and NICU collaboration. This major safety-net teaching hospital and regional trauma center performs well in specific critical care areas, including heart failure and COPD; however, it currently holds a low 1-star overall rating from the federal government's CMS program because of mixed safety and wait-time metrics. For an improvement-focused Director of Labor and Delivery, this creates a meaningful opportunity to strengthen maternal care, elevate patient experience, improve clinical performance, and help advance sustainable quality outcomes. Reporting to the CNO, the Women's Services Director will receive executive support while overseeing clinical operations, staffing, regulatory readiness, quality improvement, patient safety, budgeting, performance metrics, and strategic service-line growth. The Labor and Delivery Director will partner with friendly nurses and a diverse team of physicians, advanced practice providers, neonatal specialists, educators, social workers, case managers, and other healthcare professionals to promote respectful collaboration, staff engagement, and exceptional care throughout the maternal-child continuum. The Director of Labor and Delivery will oversee the Labor and Delivery, NICU, and Postpartum units. The Maternal Child Health Director will enjoy life in California's Bay Area, a dynamic region celebrated for its mild climate, cultural diversity, renowned cuisine, thriving arts scene, and strong healthcare and technology economy. From waterfront trails, regional parks, beaches, and nearby wine country to concerts, professional sports, museums, festivals, and globally inspired dining, the area supports an active and engaging lifestyle. The Director of Labor and Delivery will also benefit from access to respected universities, international airports, public transportation, bike-friendly communities, varied housing options, and abundant opportunities for career growth and community connection. The Director of Labor and Delivery will receive competitive compensation around $191,005-$249,050 and a comprehensive benefits package that may include medical, dental, and vision coverage, retirement benefits, paid time off, and professional development resources.
