Organization Overview

Whole Family Health Center (WFHC) is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) Look-Alike serving the Treasure Coast of Florida. Founded more than 30 years ago, the organization has grown into a sophisticated, multi-site healthcare enterprise serving more than 20,000 patients annually.

WFHC provides comprehensive healthcare services including adult medicine, pediatrics, behavioral health, women's health, infectious disease, pharmacy, laboratory services, mobile medical outreach, transportation services, and graduate medical education partnerships.

The organization operates with annual revenues exceeding $50 million and continues to experience growth in both patient volume and service offerings.

Why This Opportunity Is Unique

This position offers the opportunity to help shape the future of a mission-driven healthcare organization that combines the community impact of a health center with the operational complexity of a multi-site healthcare enterprise.

WFHC benefits from:

• A strong and engaged Board of Directors.
• An experienced executive leadership team.
• Established Medical Directors and clinical leadership.
• A respected founder who remains committed to the organization's future success.
• Financial scale and operational sophistication.
• Continued growth opportunities across multiple service lines.

The incoming executive will have the opportunity to influence provider culture, redesign care delivery systems, strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration, improve access to care, and help lead the organization's next phase of growth and transformation.

The Opportunity

WFHC seeks an experienced physician executive to serve as its next Chief Medical Officer and Clinical Transformation Executive.

The position becomes available as Dr. Gerald Pierone, founder of WFHC and long-serving physician leader, transitions from his part-time Chief Medical Officer responsibilities to focus on research initiatives, fundraising activities, strategic projects, and part-time patient care responsibilities.

WFHC also benefits from a strong clinical leadership team, including experienced Medical Directors in both Internal Medicine and Behavioral Health.

The incoming executive will serve as a key member of the executive leadership team and partner closely with the Chief Executive Officer, Vice President of Operations, Chief Financial Officer, Medical Directors, Director of Pharmacy, and other senior leaders.

This is not a traditional CMO position focused primarily on quality oversight, compliance, credentialing, or physician supervision. The Board and executive leadership team are seeking a physician leader who has successfully led measurable operational improvement within a complex ambulatory healthcare environment.

• FQHCs or FQHC Look-Alikes.
• Large community health centers.
• Multi-site ambulatory healthcare organizations.
• Integrated primary care systems.
• Physician-led healthcare organizations.
• Value-based care organizations.

Strong preference will be given to candidates who can demonstrate measurable accomplishments in:

• Provider productivity improvement.
• Clinical operations transformation.
