• Strategic Coordination: Coordinate staffing allocations and deploy surge support when required to meet evolving needs.
• Shape Program Excellence: Engage with federal and local agencies to enhance care coordination and contribute to policy updates and system-level process improvements.
• Mentor the Next Generation: Oversee training, coaching, and performance reviews for team members.
