Hospice Associate Medical Director

Cadre Hospice appoints an Associate Medical Director to certify terminal illnesses and oversee medical care components, coordinating with physicians to alleviate symptoms for patients nearing end of life. This physician role ensures timely documentation and IDT consultations, solving gaps in palliative care that directly comfort families during final stages.

Cadre Hospice provides exceptional hospice care services with a supportive leadership team, offering Zen rooms at branches, an End-of-Life Death Doula certificate program, and a focus on patients, teams, and communities driven by purpose.

Responsibilities involve performing eligibility assessments, conducting certifications and recertifications, including Face-to-Face visits, consulting with attending physicians for symptom relief, and participating in IDT meetings. Physicians use medical licenses for prescriptions, submit documentation accurately, and coordinate care in interdisciplinary settings. One challenge is maintaining 24/7 availability as the medical lead, requiring expertise in palliative care to handle complex cases without restrictions on prescribing authority.

Compensation is competitive, based on experience, in a role requiring Ohio medical license. Positions may allow remote work with occasional on-site presence at branches. Benefits include an end-of-life doula certificate for all employees, Zen rooms, amazing culture with engaged leadership, competitive pay, and supportive team environment focused on patient care.
