This role serves as the primary regional operator responsible for bringing together healthcare providers, community-based organizations, Community Health Workers (CHWs), Tribal health organizations, health plans, government agencies, workforce partners, and other stakeholders to build stronger community-based care ecosystems. The Regional Director will take complex initiatives from concept to implementation, translating Pear Suite's national capabilities into locally responsive programs and partnerships.
