The Regional Director of Operations (RDO) is a hands-on operational leader accountable for the overall performance of all clinics within an assigned region. Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, the RDO owns regional clinical and financial results, patient and employee experience, and the disciplined execution of system-wide initiatives at the clinic level.
The RDO directly leads the Practice Managers across the region. With Practice Managers overseeing one to three clinics each and Assistant Practice Managers providing on-site leadership at additional locations, the RDO is responsible for ensuring every clinic has consistent, capable practice leadership present and supported.
