• 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
