System Executive Medical Director, Neurosciences

Lead the Brain Trust. Shape the Region.

This is not maintenance. It's legacy.

Rochester Regional Health seeks a bold, emotionally intelligent physician leader to serve as our next System Executive Medical Director of Neurosciences. You won't walk into chaos. You'll walk into momentum. And you'll be expected to do what few can: unify, accelerate, and redefine neurosciences across a system already built for scale.

Why Now? This opportunity wasn't born of crisis, it was built by vision. Following the loss of our inaugural EMD, who laid the foundation for integrated neurosciences across the region, we're not searching for someone to fill a shadow. We're inviting someone to advance a legacy.

The team is aligned. The strategy is approved. The referrals are real. This is the moment to scale what's working and solve what's not. This is not a speculative rebuild, it's a board-backed growth mandate with the funding, teams, and structure already in place.

What You'll Lead

• A physician-led platform that spans neurology, neurosurgery, stroke, and PM&R across 8 hospitals and 600+ care sites
• A dyad governance model built on trust, visibility, and operational alignment
• A growing team of neurologists with subspecialty depth in stroke, epilepsy, memory, headache, movement, and neurohospitalist care
• Neurosurgeons trained in DBS, LITT, RNS, and complex cerebrovascular and spinal procedures
• A regional PM&R infrastructure anchored by the Golisano Restorative Neurology & Rehabilitation Center, CARF-accredited and best-in-class
• Systemwide technology like RapidAI, Brainlab, IONM,and O-arm, plus a genomics partnership with Helix

What Success Looks Like

• Unified workflows and a single stroke playbook
• Subspecialist recruitment that reduces 3-6 month wait times
• Retention strategies that keep APPs and subspecialists engaged
• Telestroke and Teleneuro expansion to rural and underserved markets
• Consistent experience and access across urban, suburban, and regional facilities

Why Rochester Regional Health? We are a $3.2B integrated health system serving 1.2 million people across Western and Northern New York. We lead with data, act with empathy, and govern with shared physician-administrative leadership.

You'll join:

• 19,000+ team members
• 8 hospitals and 160+ care locations
• 27 ACGME-accredited residency and fellowship programs
• Physicians who lead strategy, not just execute it

We don't just talk transformation, we fund it. From RapidAI and surgical robotics to genomics and virtual care, we put tools in place to support physicians who are ready to lead from the front.

Our culture is built on Worthy Leadership and Just Culture , where accountability is matched by trust, and system change is a shared commitment.

Who You Are

• MD or DO board-certified in neurology, neurosurgery, or PM&R
• Proven system-level leader in an academic or integrated health system
• Comfortable with 60% administrative / 40% clinical (adjustable)
• Strategic, collaborative, politically agile
• A builder, not a maintainer

We've built the structure.
We fund the ambition.
And we recognize the kind of leadership it takes to move a region forward.
