Serving the health needs of such a big, complex place demands a health department that is experienced, skilled, flexible and integrated. That's what Contra Costa Health delivers.
Contra Costa Health (CCH) is excited to recruit for Chief Operations Officers (COO) in two (2) different divisions: the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and the Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) in Martinez, CA.
The CCRMC COO is responsible for the development and implementation of policies, management, and oversight of clinical and operational measures that will improve and maintain the excellence of health care provided within CCRMC and Health Centers.

The CCH Vision and Mission

Contra Costa Health makes good health more attainable for all residents and we maintain a strong focus on equity and eliminating health disparities in our communities.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to care for and improve the health of all people in Contra Costa County with special attention to those who are most vulnerable to health problems.
Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) was the first federally-qualified, state-licensed, county-sponsored HMO that currently provides managed care for more than 200,000 people in the county. CCHP is the primary managed-care provider for Medi-Cal beneficiaries in Contra Costa that also manages smaller plans for county employees and In-Home Support Services (IHSS) homecare workers.
CCHP is accredited by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), an independent body that conducts rigorous assessments of health plans' structures and processes, clinical quality and patient satisfaction. CCHP is only one of six Medicaid managed-care plans in California to receive a four-star rating from NCQA.
CCHP's strategy is centered around three priorities:
* Supporting providers by aligning quality initiatives with what is happening in the provider's office-where quality truly occurs.
* Investing in data integration to ensure we could identify true care gaps and move toward Electronic Clinical Data Systems (ECDS) reporting.
* Addressing community health priorities, particularly maternal health, behavioral health and preventive care.
These priorities allow us to focus on measures that matter most to our members, such as perinatal care, immunizations and patient experience.
