Hospice Medical Director - Leadership Role | Greater Denver Metro
Located just outside Denver, Colorado, this is a rare opportunity to step into a high-impact leadership role at a rapidly scaling, deeply mission-driven organization.
This is not a traditional hospice medical director position-it is a strategic leadership role designed to scale and elevate hospice services across the region.
The organization is experiencing strong census growth, but currently lacks a dedicated physician leader fully embedded in executive, board, and community-facing strategy.
You will serve as the central clinical and executive bridge for hospice operations across a regional footprint spanning Denver, Golden, Littleton, and Loveland
Key focus areas include:
-
Executive and board-level medical leadership presence
-
Quality, compliance, and CMS regulatory oversight
-
Finance committee participation and operational stewardship
-
Community and hospital system relationship development
-
Clinical oversight of physicians, APPs, and interdisciplinary teams
-
60% Administrative / 40% Clinical
-
No RVU or productivity pressure-success is defined by leadership impact and quality outcomes
-
Oversight of 2 physicians, 1 part-time physician, and 6 APPs
-
Support for 5 interdisciplinary teams (IDTs)
-
IPU, admissions, recertifications, and complex case consultation included
-
Fellowship-trained in Hospice & Palliative Medicine with 3-5+ years of progressive medical leadership experience
-
Prior dedicated Hospice Medical Director experience required, ideally in high-acuity or community-based hospice settings
-
Eligible for unrestricted Colorado medical licensure with strong regulatory fluency in hospice care standards
-
Calm, emotionally grounded servant leader who thrives in end-of-life care environments and high-stakes decision-making
-
Collaborative, mission-driven ambassador comfortable engaging clinicians, executives, and community partners across systems
-
Guaranteed base compensation of $345,000 plus quality metrics bonus
-
Medical, dental, vision, life, and long-term disability insurance
-
Generous PTO, holidays, and continuing education time
-
Public Student Loan Forgiveness
If you are looking to step into a high-impact Hospice Medical Director role where leadership, community presence, and mission alignment matter as much as clinical expertise, this is a rare opportunity to do exactly that in the heart of Colorado.
