Chief Medical Officer, Catalyst Health Group

The Opportunity:

Catalyst Health Group, a privately-held, physician-aligned organization operating the largest clinically integrated network for primary care in Texas, seeks a Chief Medical Officer (CMO) to provide unified clinical oversight for their rapidly expanding primary care ecosystem: a 1,000+ member primary care Clinically Integrated Network; a 150-member physician owned and led primary care group;  MSO; and risk-bearing entities. Catalyst Health Group is committed to building healthier communities and creating generational change for millions by delivering on the promise of personalized care. The CMO is the senior clinical voice of Catalyst Health Group, accountable for advancing clinical performance, physician engagement, and value-based outcomes across 1.5M+ lives throughout North Texas, East Texas and the Panhandle. 

The Chief Medical Officer owns enterprise performance for Total Cost of Care and Medical Loss Ratio  while leading the reduction of unwarranted clinical variability throughout the organization. The role is unique as it’s a blend of strategic and tactical demand: the CMO sets evidence-based standards and care models at the enterprise level, then converts them into adopted behavior through visible, peer-level engagement with physicians throughout the organization. The CMO ensures physicians understand, embrace, and execute on Catalyst’s value-based strategy. The CMO must influence behavior change, hold peers accountable to standards, and partner with Finance and Operations to translate clinical decisions into financial and patient-outcome results.

The ideal candidate will have the ability to balance growth with disciplined clinical governance, manage risk at scale, and sustain physician trust through transparency, follow-through, and clinical credibility. In addition, the successful candidate will have a passion for innovation and transformation, with a track record of building and leading high performing value-based care programs.
