You'll run the front office, own the schedule, supervise our two-person front-desk team, manage our building, and be the operational backbone that lets our clinicians focus on patient care. This is a full-scope leadership role with real ownership from day one — not an entry-level administrative position. It's also a broad one.

If you like variety and ownership, this role has both.

From there the role grows — more ownership over scheduling policy, team support, facilities projects, and community coordination as you settle in.
