The President and CEO directly supervises an Executive Team of 5 and provides mentorship and guidance to the C-level leaders in Operations, Finance, Medical, Development, and Community Health. The President and CEO oversees all operations of a $7M budget with 65 full-time staff, 6 part-time staff, roughly 300 volunteers annually, and 2 clinical locations.
