About the Role

The Director of Outpatient Services is responsible for the strategic leadership, operational performance, and continued growth of the facility's Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP).

The Director will serve as a clinical leader, mentor, and community ambassador, working closely with physicians, clinicians, referral partners, and executive leadership to strengthen program outcomes and expand access to care. This role plays a critical part in ensuring seamless transitions for patients stepping down from inpatient treatment and those requiring a higher level of support than traditional outpatient services can provide.

  • Coordinate weekly group assignments and session topics to balance clinician workloads and tailor care to patient cohort needs. Utilize feedback, patient outcome data, and satisfaction surveys to enhance care delivery and program relevance and to ensure services remain accessible and responsive to the needs of the target population.
  • Collaborate with divisional and corporate leadership on identifying and implementing strategic growth initiatives, including expansion planning and program development.
