Rural Staffing Services (RSS) is proud to support an incredible rural hospital in one of Washington's most beautiful and culturally rich coastal towns. We are searching for a Privacy Officer with HIM experience to step into a leadership role that combines purpose, community, and coastal charm. Whether you're open to an interim opportunity or seeking your next permanent chapter, we would love to connect.

About the Role

In this vital role, you'll oversee the development, implementation, and maintenance of privacy policies to ensure HIPAA compliance and protect patient information (PHI). You'll lead staff training, guide department best practices, and serve as the hospital's go-to for privacy compliance and integrity. You'll also manage HIM functions with the support of a strong administrative team.

This is more than a job, it's a chance to make a meaningful impact in a community that values both its healthcare professionals and its rich, storybook setting.

Why This Community?

Set against a backdrop of historic Victorian buildings, scenic trails, and maritime magic, this town blends small-town charm with big-hearted culture. Think:

  • Strolling to a vintage theatre after work or grabbing seafood by the harbor

  • Watching whales crest in the nearby bay

  • Walking past artists and street poets on your way to the local farmers market

  • Spending weekends exploring forts, lighthouses, and national parks just a short drive away

It's the kind of place where people say hello, deer wander the streets, and creativity is part of everyday life.

What Were Looking For:

  • Experience leading privacy and HIM programs in a healthcare setting

  • In-depth knowledge of HIPAA and state-level privacy regulations

  • A collaborative leader who thrives in a mission-driven, patient-centered environment

  • Immediate availability preferred

This Position Offers:

  • A chance to make a lasting impact in a beautiful coastal setting

  • Flexible structure: interim, temp-to-perm, or direct hire

  • A warm, tight-knit hospital team with strong leadership

  • A town you'll fall in love with the moment you arrive
