Director of Surgery

St. Vincent Infirmary Medical Center
Little Rock, AR


The Rottman Group has been retained by St. Vincent Infirmary Medical Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, to find a Director of Surgery.


The Organization

St. Vincent Infirmary Medical Center is a 542-bed full service hospital with an over 100-year tradition of service to the community.  The St. Vincent Health System operates four hospitals, the largest of which is St. Vincent Infirmary Med Center .  With a central focus on commitment to excellence, St. Vincent proudly serves the total health needs of individuals from throughout Arkansas and the mid-South as a member of Catholic Health Initiatives, one of the nation's largest and most prestigious health systems.

St. Vincent Infirmary Medical Center has received a five-star rating for excellence in Orthopedic Services from HealthGrades, the leading provider of accurate and objective health care quality information.  The HealthGrades ratings place St. Vincent as the #1 Orthopedic Hospital in Arkansas and among the top ten percent of orthopedic programs nationally.

St. Vincent is also #1 when it comes to technology.  They are the first and most experienced facility in Arkansas with Positron Emission Tomography and Cyclotron technology.  Other advanced technologies, such as the R2 Image Checker and Chromavision, help St. Vincent Infirmary Medical Center remain on the forefront of quality patient care.  Their Zoom CT Scanner provides the fastest and finest images, allowing for improved diagnosis and treatment of patients.

In recent years, St. Vincent has undergone very positive changes in its leadership team.  President & CEO Stephen Mansfield has built a high quality team of administrators that have continued to foster a culture of service and responsiveness to the needs of patients.  Their faith-based approach to healthcare is distinctive.

The Position

The Director of Surgery will lead and oversee the Surgical Services Department, Outpatient Surgery, PACU, and Pre-op at both St Vincent Infirmary Medical Center (542-beds) and St. Vincent Doctor’s Hospital (308-beds).  St. Vincent Infirmary Medical Center has a total of 22 operating rooms in the main area, and an additional 2 O.R.s in the outpatient surgery area.  They are currently running 14 of the main O.R.s daily.  The main ORs and the outpatient surgery unit average 1000 cases per month.  Approximately 450 open-heart surgeries are performed at St. Vincent annually.  St. Vincent Doctors Hospital is located across the street from the main Medical Center, and houses the women and children’s health units.  There are 12 ORs at St. Vincent Doctors, which average 250 cases per month.

The position was vacated in March due to retirement.  There is a great opportunity for St. Vincent to bring in a director who can focus on business leadership, efficiency, and productivity for the surgical service department.  There is an assistant director who manages most of the “people operations” and day-to-day logistics, freeing up the new director to continue the further development of the department’s operations. 

This position will report to the Vice President of Medical Affairs, Dr. David Hall.  Dr. Hall has been with St. Vincent for over 5 years, and is an administrator who believes in the abilities of the department directors.  St. Vincent is looking for someone who can be an autonomous leader in an open working environment.
