This leader will oversee the overall operations of Mercy Hospice, including clinical quality, financial performance, compliance, safety, growth, and administrative functions, while ensuring our teams have the support and resources they need to provide exceptional care.

This is an opportunity for a leader who understands hospice, but also knows how to build strong teams, improve processes, partner with physicians and community providers, and think strategically about the future.

Position Details:

  • Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
  • Current Registered Nurse license in state of practice
  • 2-4 years of health-related experience
  • 3-5 years of progressive leadership responsibility
  • Strong knowledge of federal and state regulations, certification requirements, and accreditation standards related to hospice
  • Excellent communication and observation skills

Preferred:

  • Master's degree in a health-related field or Business Administration
  • Previous hospice management experience
  • Certified Hospice and Palliative Care Nurse (CHPN) or Certified Hospice and Palliative Care Administrator credential

Why Mercy?

From day one, Mercy offers outstanding benefits - including medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, tuition support, and matched retirement plans for team members working 32+ hours per pay period.

Join a caring, collaborative team where your voice matters. At Mercy, you'll help shape the future of healthcare through innovation, technology, and compassion. As we grow, you'll grow with us.
