About The Position

Scheurer Health is seeking a Vice President of Human Resources to lead the next evolution of its people strategy and HR function. This is an opportunity to help a growing, integrated healthcare system build the Human Resources capability it will need for the next decade. Scheurer Health has expanded in size, reach, and complexity, including its affiliation with Harbor Beach Community Hospital. Today, the system includes approximately 800 employees and 615 FTEs serving communities across Michigan’s Thumb. The organization is strong, mission-driven, and highly engaged. It has also reached an inflection point: organizational growth has outpaced the structure and operating model of HR. The next Vice President will join an aligned executive leadership team with a clear mandate and a practical transformation roadmap. Reporting directly to President and CEO Ross Ramsey, MD, this leader will serve as a genuine executive partner—helping define system strategy while transforming HR into a trusted, accountable, and forward-looking organizational partner.
