Associate Chief Medical Officer
Dartmouth Home Health
Dartmouth Health is pleased to announce a search for its inaugural Associate Chief Medical Officer for Dartmouth Home Health.
This key leader will provide senior clinical, academic, and strategic leadership for Dartmouth Health’s home-based care portfolio, including the Hospital at Home program and the broader Dartmouth Home Health initiative. This includes working with the leadership team to create home-based primary care and home-based palliative care programs as well as an institute for caregivers.
About the job:
Reporting to the CEO Dyad for Dartmouth Home Health for operational matters and to the Chair of the Department of Medicine for clinical matters, the Associate Chief Medical Officer is the primary physician leader responsible for designing, governing, and scaling hospital-level and longitudinal care delivered in the home, while partnering with leaders across Dartmouth Health to guide strategy for home-based care expansion. Daily activities focus on ensuring clinical excellence, patient and caregiver safety, workforce sustainability, and financial viability for this program.
This role also focuses on clinical integration and strategy across the Department of Medicine, Dartmouth Health Home Care (formerly Visiting Nurse and Hospice), and The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice (TDI), to ensure alignment. The mission of Dartmouth Health’s new Home Health program is to develop a nationally relevant, rural-centered model of home-based care that improves outcomes for patients and caregivers and can be scaled beyond the Upper Valley to rural health care centers across the country.
About Dartmouth Health:

Anchored by the academic Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH, the system includes the NCI-designated Dartmouth Cancer Center, the Dartmouth Health Children’s hospital, 8 member hospitals, 30+ ambulatory clinic locations across the region, a Visiting Nurse Association, and the Jack Byrne Center for Palliative and Hospice Care.
At Dartmouth Health, we believe that the diversity of our patients, people, and community shows a strength we support and celebrate. We are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone to thrive, honoring all within our organization and the communities we serve. Our belief is simple and actionable: Dartmouth Health is better when we embrace each other with open hearts and minds, confront our biases, and take a stand for equity and inclusion.
