Director of Acute Care Facilities 26-00149

This acute care medical center is the largest employer in its region and the community's anchor healthcare institution — serving a population of 50,000 across a vast stretch of southern Colorado. As a full-service hospital, it operates with the resources of a regional health system and the culture of a community that genuinely depends on it. Leadership is visible, impact is immediate, and the work done here is felt across the entire region.

Alamosa sits at the heart of one of Colorado's most breathtaking regions — two hours from Pueblo, three from Colorado Springs, four from Denver, and just over two hours from Santa Fe. With access to Great Sand Dunes National Park, world-class skiing, year-round outdoor recreation, and a low cost of living, the San Luis Valley offers a quality of life that urban markets simply can't match. This is a place to put down roots, lead with purpose, and build something that lasts.
