Job Description

As a member of the Hospital's senior management team, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) will participate in operational decision-making processes necessary for the successful attainment of the hospital's mission in addition to maintaining an awareness of changes in healthcare matters that could have an impact on the success of the hospital. The CEO will ensure success of the hospital through quality enhancement, cost containment, revenue growth and development of strong relationships with hospital staff, board members, and community leaders.

North Knoxville Medical Center is an acute care hospital. The Powell hospital and medical center offers private patient rooms with dedicated family areas. In addition, the hospital has technologically advanced information and communications systems, decentralized nursing stations for better efficiency and patient care, and noise-reduction materials to provide patients with a more comfortable experience.

Nursing Care
North Knoxville Medical Center features workstations outside each patient room, which allows nurses to closely monitor every patient. Each floor has a business center for record management. Nurses are able to enter data and comments into the electronic medical record while observing their patients through a window at each room. The rooms are all identically sized with the same layout — the beds, bathrooms, furniture and medical equipment are in the same location in every room. This consistency allows nurses and other clinicians to work more efficiently, especially during emergencies when time is of the essence.

Patient Comfort
The medical center has family-focused rooms with dedicated family areas, including a sleep sofa, wireless internet access and a second TV. North Knoxville Medical Center also offers meals on demand. Patients are able to order customized meals allowed under their diet plan, and receive freshly prepared meals — just like hotel room service.

Mission Statement
To provide compassionate, patient-centered, value-driven healthcare with excellence in quality, service and access.

Our Core Values:

  • Safety
  • Compassion
  • Excellence
  • Integrity
