POSITION SUMMARY

UVA Health is a premier, nationally recognized academic health system united by a shared mission: to transform health and inspire hope for all Virginians and beyond. With care sites across the Commonwealth of Virginia, UVA Health delivers exceptional, equitable care in all the communities it serves.

Anchored in the foothills of Albemarle County, UVA Health University Medical Center is the flagship teaching and research hospital of the University of Virginia and the region's leading academic medical center. It is home to Virginia's topranked children's hospital (U.S. News & World Report), an NCIdesignated Comprehensive Cancer Center, a 24/7 Level I Trauma Center, a Level IV NICU, and the Commonwealth's only Comprehensive Transplant Center serving both adults and children.
Amid this period of transformation and growth, UVA Health seeks an accomplished, valuesdriven executive to serve as the next Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the University Medical Center (UMC). Reporting directly to UVA Health Executive Vice President and CEO Dr. Mitch Rosner, the UMC CEO will be the operational and cultural leader of the flagship enterprise-charged with driving performance, strengthening strategic partnerships, advancing clinical excellence, elevating the patient and caregiver experience, and serving as a visible champion across Virginia.

Equally important, the CEO will serve as a prominent, trusted, and highly visible representative of the community, serving as a vital connector who strengthens relationships and builds meaningful bridges between the health system and its community leaders and partners.
This is a rare opportunity to lead one of the nation's most respected academic medical centers at a pivotal moment. The next CEO will support and advance UVA Health's statewide strategy, steward a critical public mission, and accelerate progress in innovation, financial sustainability, and health outcomes. The ideal leader is a forwardthinking, systemminded executive who can build and unify teams, galvanize collaboration, and ensure longterm clinical, operational, financial, and reputational strength.

This role sits at the intersection of significant operational scope, strategic complexity, and statewide influence in a nationally recognized academic health system.
