Mercy is currently seeking a board-certified physician with acute inpatient care experience to lead our exciting Hospital-at-Home program in Springfield. Missouri, where Mercy patients get their hospital care at home.

Hospital care-at-Home is a unique opportunity to be a "guest" in a patient?s home, serve your community, and transform the care experience.

Patients who have presented to the Emergency Department and have acute care needs that require hospitalization now have the option to be treated in the comfort of their home by our dedicated and highly skilled team.

This includes twice daily nursing visits, daily physician or advanced practice provider visit, 24/7 medical direction oversight, medication management, equipment, and all additional program support during HaH episode of care.

This Position offers:

• Opportunity to join growing team as a leader over-seeing the clinical, quality an safety components of inpatients in the home and virtual environment.
• Role will be divided between clinical patient care and leadership and driving growth of the program.
• Continued opportunity for further leadership potential as program expands across the ministry
