Chief Medical Officer (CMO) – Mission-Driven FQHC Leadership
Pomona, United States | Posted on 05/12/2026
Chief Medical Officer (CMO) – Mission-Driven FQHC Leadership Opportunity
Southern California | Executive Leadership | Clinical + Strategic Impact
The Staff Pad has partnered with a growing, community-focused healthcare organization seeking a collaborative and forward-thinking Chief Medical Officer (CMO) to lead clinical operations, provider engagement, and quality initiatives across an integrated care network.
This is an opportunity for a physician leader who wants to make a meaningful impact — not only on patients, but on providers, operational strategy, and the future growth of an organization deeply committed to underserved communities.
This organization serves approximately 13,000 patients annually, with a strong focus on improving healthcare access and outcomes within underserved communities. Many patients identify as Hispanic, and many prefer services in a language other than English.
As a NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home, the organization emphasizes:
Whole-person integrated care
Quality-driven outcomes
This is more than a traditional CMO role. It’s an opportunity to influence organizational direction, strengthen provider culture, and help expand access to compassionate, high-quality healthcare throughout the community.
What You'll Do
This is a highly visible executive leadership role combining both clinical leadership and patient care.
Schedule Split
40% Clinical Care
The CMO will provide clinical care approximately 2 days per week while leading organizational clinical strategy, provider support, quality initiatives, and operational collaboration.
Clinical oversight across medical services and provider teams
Provider mentorship, onboarding, engagement, and retention
Quality improvement initiatives tied to HEDIS
UDS
HRSA
Clinical workflows and operational optimization
Recruitment strategy for physicians and APPs
Strategic planning and service line growth
Board and executive leadership presentations related to quality and performance
This organization is looking for a true servant leader who:
Leads by example
Builds trust and collaboration
Communicates directly and respectfully
Focuses on solutions, not blame
Supports providers while driving accountability
Is comfortable navigating growth, change, and differing opinions
The CEO and executive team are highly collaborative and value leaders who are:
Self-motivated
Adaptable
Transparent
Hands-on
Forward-thinking
Growth & Expansion Initiatives
The organization is actively expanding services, including:
New medical service locations launching in 2026
Continued provider growth and access expansion initiatives
What We Are Looking For
Board Certification in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, or Med-Peds (Pediatrics-only board certification not accepted)
Progressive physician leadership experience required
FQHC clinical experience required
Experience serving as an Associate Medical Director, Medical Director, Chief Medical Officer, or in a comparable physician leadership role
Preferred Strengths
Experience in delivering integrated, patient-centered care
Strong expertise in quality improvement and population health management
Passion for provider engagement, mentorship, and retention
Skilled in operational excellence and workflow optimization
Thrives in dynamic, growth-focused healthcare environments
What You can Expect
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Executive leadership role reporting directly to the CEO
Strong influence on organizational strategy and clinical growth
Opportunity to shape provider culture, quality initiatives, and access expansion
Integrated care model with medical, behavioral health, dental, women’s health, podiatry, optometry, and more
Leadership team that values transparency, initiative, and solutions-oriented thinking
Bonus eligible up to $25,000
PTO + paid holidays
CME allowance and CME time
The Bottom Line
If you are a physician leader who believes in servant leadership, integrated care, and driving meaningful impact through clinical excellence — we want to connect with you.
