Director Care Coordination-MMC Merced-Mark Twain

Mercy Medical Center, a Dignity Health member, has been building a rich history of care in our community for more than 100 years. We have grown from a small one-story wooden structure into a major healthcare provider with a new 186-bed main campus, offering the latest in facility design and technology. Mercy also operates Outpatient Centers, a Cancer Center and several rural clinics.

Wherever you work throughout our system, you will find faces of experience with dedication to high quality, personalized care. Joining our 1,300 employees, 230 physicians and many volunteers, you can help carry out our commitment to providing our community with the excellence they have come to associate with Mercy Medical Center.

One Community. One Mission. One California 

As the Director of Care Coordination for Mercy Medical Center, you will be responsible for the overall direction and management of care coordination and social services including planning, organizing and directing all activities, staffing, performance improvement in the delivery of clinical services (such as LOS reduction) and reporting needs within the Medical Center and Dignity Health, as well as government and regulatory reporting.

You will work closely with all departments at the Medical Center and the post-acute service providers to streamline the patient transition through the health care system and into the community post discharge, and consult/collaborate with other managers, physicians, administration, and community based healthcare workers regarding care management issues identified through corporate or facility initiatives and current literature.

To thrive in this role, you must be competent and confident. Utilizing your expertise and excellent communication skills one-on-one and in front of groups, you will tackle tough conversations and, above all, be an educator at heart. Every interaction is an opportunity to share your knowledge with others and improve their understanding and performance, so that together we can optimize care coordination across the care continuum for our patients.

If you are committed to social justice, health equity, and prepared to deliver care in new, innovative ways, you belong with us.
