LifePoint Health has an opportunity for a Chief Executive Officer.  The CEO will have oversight of Valley View Medical Center located in Fort Mohave, Arizona. 

Valley View opened in November 2005 as a 102,000-square-foot acute-care facility with two adjacent medical office buildings.  Growth in the area meant growth at the hospital, and Valley View’s main building is now 126,000 square feet. This state-of-the-art hospital is currently licensed with 52 medical/surgical beds, 12 acute rehabilitation beds, 12 intensive care beds, and an eight-bed labor, delivery and post-partum unit, and is the only all private bed hospital serving the Bullhead City/Laughlin/Needles area. In addition to private rooms, all admitted patients have individual restrooms (including showers), cable TV and free local newspapers, and some rooms have recliner loungers for family members.  The labor/delivery/obstetrics unit has additional security and restricted access measures to ensure the safety of patients, whether adults, children or newborns.  There is a 16-bed emergency department open around the clock. The surgery department has six major operating rooms and two endoscopy suites, plus a modern, high-tech cardiac catheterization unit. The diagnostic imaging department provides all digital modalities for outpatient and inpatient testing, from digital mammograms and simple x-rays to high-tech PET-CTs for cancer detection and nuclear medicine. And Valley View’s Picture Archival Communication (PAC) system provides your physicians with instant access, storage, retrieval and display of high quality digital images.
