•    Take ownership of the clinical operation at this site, including supporting and directing supporting clinical staff (nursing, medical assistants) working at the facility
•    Bring urgency, reliability, and follow-through to daily patient care and documentation

Teamwork & Facility Coordination
•    Work collaboratively with PMC clinical leadership, the PMC Medical Director, and the client facility's nursing, counseling, and case management staff
