Job Description:

Along with offering a chance to work in a stable, strong, mission-based environment, this role provides the opportunity to experience the Mountain West’s diverse culture and incredible landscapes. You’ll be able to explore abundant outdoor recreational opportunities, including skiing, hiking, and fishing, as well as stunning national parks and forests, all within hours of where you’ll call home. Becoming a part of the Intermountain team means gaining a family and finding a place to plant your roots.

Benefits are one of the ways we encourage health for you and your family. Our generous package includes medical, dental, and vision coverage. But health is more than a well-working body: it encompasses body, mind, and spiritual well-being. To that end, we’ve launched a Healthy Living program to address your holistic health. Healthy Living includes financial incentives, digital tools, tobacco cessation, classes, counseling, and paid time off. We also offer financial wellness tools and retirement planning.

With this position, you are eligible to participate in an annual pay-for-performance opportunity (“AP4P”). This plan enables Intermountain Health to provide leaders with an additional performance compensation opportunity. The AP4P opportunities are calculated as a percentage of your base salary. Awards are paid out based on attainment of selected Intermountain Health Board-approved goals.

The salary range for the Associate Chief Medical Officer is $522,917 to $604,792 annually and as determined by prior years of relevant experience. The qualified candidate will need to reside in the Peaks Region geography. The preference location will be the Colorado Front Range (the Denver Metro area), however there is flexibility for the most qualified candidate if there are current ties in Montana or Western Colorado markets.

To show our commitment to you and assist with your transition into our organization, we may offer a sign-on and/or a relocation bonus when applicable.
