DEPARTMENT SUMMARY: The Women's & Children's Service Line at St. Charles Health System provides comprehensive ambulatory, procedural, and inpatient care across the four hospital facilities and all associated clinics. This includes, but is not limited to, Obstetrics & Gynecology (OB/GYN), Labor & Delivery, Postpartum, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Pediatric Hospitalist services, and the Pediatric Developmental and Learning (PEDAL) clinic. This developing service line is committed to strategic growth, financial stewardship, and delivering exceptional patient and family experiences across the continuum of care, guided by a robust service line approach.
POSITION OVERVIEW: The Service Line Administrator – Women’s and Children’s Services works in an administrator–physician dyad to deliver high-value Women’s & Children’s care. Working closely with the physician leader, this role drives strategic planning, business development, financial stewardship, and market growth to advance the service line and align it with St. Charles Health System’s overall strategy.
