Chief Operating Officer

The Operations Executive will oversee day-to-day operations for three hospitals in the North Coast Network - Adventist Health Ukiah Valley, Adventist Health Howard Memorial, and Adventist Health Mendocino County.

Adventist Health Ukiah Valley has been deeply connected to the community we serve since 1956. We are comprised of a 50-bed acute care medical center, level IV trauma center, level II intensive care nursery services, extensive physical rehabilitation program, outpatient surgery and diagnostic center and advanced wound care center. Ukiah is a unique small town that charms you with its rich character, arts, vineyards and natural surroundings. Ukiah beckons you to explore all that the valley has to offer amidst our 300 days of sunshine each year. We are also conveniently located just two hours north of San Francisco and 45 minutes from the Pacific Coast.

Nestled in the "Gateway to the Redwoods", Adventist Health Howard Memorial takes pride in its legacy of providing exceptional, high-quality care since 1928. We are comprised of a state-of-the-art 74,000 square foot facility, with four surgery suites, an on-site farm-to-fork restaurant and 25 beautiful private rooms designed with healing and comfort in mind. We provide a wide-range of primary and specialty care services to best serve our community. Willits is home to excellent trails and nature areas for hikers, campers and bicyclists. Whether it is the climate, moderate cost of living or just the small-town atmosphere, it is a place where everyone receives a warm welcome and treated like family.

Located where miles of breathtaking ocean views meet dense coastal forests, Adventist Health Mendocino County has a rich history serving community members on the coast since 1971. We are comprised of a 25-bed critical access hospital and offer a range of services in Fort Bragg. The Mendocino Coast offers a small-town atmosphere and is known for its natural beauty, from the smallest to the tallest redwoods in the world, to glass bottom beaches and the only oceanfront botanical gardens in the United States. With whale watching, fishing, hiking trails and many more outdoor adventures readily available, this coastal region is a place to immerse yourself in its landscape and history.
