Operating Room Scheduling Coordinator

Operating Room Scheduling Coordinator

Do you want to join an organization that invests in you as an Operating Room Scheduling Coordinator? At HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital, you come first. HCA Healthcare has committed up to 300 million in programs to support our incredible team members over the course of three years.

While officially based at Lawnwood as your primary hospital, space constraints mean this role operates on a flexible, multi-facility support model with a phased transition to remote work.

• Primary Base & Training: Onboarding and initial proficiency training take place at Lawnwood and are estimated to take up to 6 months.
• Interim Workspace: Due to limited physical footprint at Lawnwood, you may be required to office temporarily out of Mercy Hospital during your training period until you are fully proficient.
• Secondary & Float Support: You will support Mercy as a secondary hospital and act as a float to cover PTO needs across any East Florida division hospitals as required.
• Transition to Remote: This position is designed to be remote eventually, but remote work will only begin once management determines you have reached full proficiency.
