Job Details

Rogue Community Health, a non-profit, Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) located in beautiful Jackson County, Oregon, is seeking a highly experienced and dynamic Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to join our organization.

To do this, we must lead the way by eliminating barriers to access and provide gold standard level services.

Imagine a company that was born from one person, barely out of high school, hitchhiking across the United States in 1971 with little more than a notebook and a dream to bridge the endless gaps found in a health system that marginalized segments of the population. Our founder met other like-minded individuals in the Ashland area of Jackson County and together, they created a health care facility that placed priority on safe and equitable access without judgment. This is how Rogue Community Health started, and who we are today. Our purpose and commitment have not changed in over five decades.

Today, Rogue Community Health provides a wide range of services within seventeen sites including primary medical, mental, and behavioral health, dental, outreach, pharmacy, administrative support, and student healthcare.

Our next CEO will collaborate with our Board of Directors to ensure strategic clarity and alignment; develop integrated organizational plans; lead transformational change; foster community awareness; represent our organization both internally and externally; prioritize initiatives and allocate resources efficiently; promote a "one team" culture; foster an environment of continuous development, growth, and improvement; develop sustainable financial strategies; and ensure prudent capital management.

It is critical that mission-driven initiatives are strong and sustainable so we can provide needed care to our community for another 50+ years. If you are excited to learn more about Rogue Community Health and potentially lead our organization through a pivotal phase of strategic and organizational growth, we want to meet you.
