Healthcare Director Jobs in Virginia

A Healthcare Director is a high-level executive who oversees the overall functioning of a healthcare facility, including policy development, budgeting, personnel management, and strategic planning. They are responsible for coordinating and directing health services, ensuring patient care meets established standards and regulations, managing the facility's budget, and developing and implementing operational policies and procedures. Furthermore, they may also be involved in community outreach and public relations activities to maintain a positive image of the organization.
