ABOUT THE JOB

Marathon Health is seeking a Health Center Lead to lead the delivery of high-quality, patient-centered primary care services while managing the daily operations of one or more health centers. This dual-function role blends clinical insight with operational leadership to ensure seamless care delivery and high-performing teams.

This role will also collaborate with internal stakeholders such as the Director of Operations, Medical Director, and others to align care delivery with organizational goals.
