Vice President, Administrator

Building Location: St Josephs Medical Center Department: 4008000 ADMINISTRATION - SJMC Job Description: Every summer, about 300,000 people head to the Brainerd Lakes for a week at the lake. The people who live here get it all year, and towns across the area rely on Essentia to care for them. As Essentia Health’s next Vice President, Administrator, you’ll lead the region’s hospital and be a leader in the community you call home. That hospital is St. Joseph’s Medical Center, a nationally recognized 162-bed regional hospital. You’ll also oversee our clinics across the Brainerd Lakes Area. People here are proud of their hospital, and for good reason. St.

Joseph’s has 24/7 cardiac catheterization, a cancer center, a Level III trauma center, a broad range of surgical services and a new orthopedic center in Baxter. As the senior Essentia leader in the region, where we’re the largest employer, you’ll be someone people look up to, inside the hospital and out. There’s a great deal of opportunity to build on in Brainerd and Baxter.

Essentia Health sees the community as the regional hub for care across this part of Minnesota, and you’ll have the support of a health system with more than 16,000 people as you expand services, bring more care closer to home, and develop innovative models—including virtual care—that extend access and connect patients to the services they need across a broader footprint. As part of a clinically integrated delivery system committed to strengthening local access, you’ll help ensure patients can receive high-quality care as close to home as possible.

You’ll work alongside an experienced, dedicated local team that has accomplished a great deal for the Brainerd community and help accelerate that progress in partnership with colleagues across Essentia. You’ll report to Essentia’s Senior Vice President of Operations, a leader who welcomes new ideas and invests the time and energy needed to develop the leaders around her. If you know how to build services that are good for patients and good for the business, enjoy working with physicians, and want to make your home in a region known for its lakes, the outdoors, and a strong sense of community, we’d love to hear from you.
