Head the nation’s largest integrated health care system as the VHA Under Secretary for Health (USH).
At VHA, we’re working to revolutionize the delivery of Veterans health care and social support services — and we’re actively looking for the right individual to help lead that charge.
You’ll assure that we deliver timely, appropriate and cost-effective services to approximately 9 million Veterans enrolled in VA health care.
As a senior leader, you’ll use your extensive leadership and communication skills, ethics expertise, and knowledge of health care policy to negotiate with stakeholders and partners at all levels. We’ll look to you to communicate VHA’s major initiatives to a wide range of individuals and groups, including members of Congress, Veterans Service Organizations, other government entities and the private sector.
You’ll also supervise VHA leadership, in Washington and in the field, to ensure that VHA operations are conducted in accordance with VA policies and the vision of the VA Secretary.
The ideal candidate is a senior physician executive with experience overseeing enterprise initiatives, operating sizable budgets, managing a large and diverse workforce, and providing strategic direction and policies.
