Position Mission
At Northwell Health, the largest private employer in New York State, we strive to improve the health of the patients we seek to serve in our 23 hospitals and 850+ outpatient facilities. We are seeking a surgical leader to lead a disease-centric programmatic breast surgery team at our two flagship hospitals on Long Island. This leader will be an integral part in launching our newest facility, the Center for Women’s Cancer at North Shore University Hospital and Long Island Jewish (LIJ) Medical Center.
As a program leader, you will work to implement the vision for breast surgery services at Northwell Health. The Chief will play a key role in physician recruitment efforts and business planning for growth and expansion. You will work closely with leadership from Surgery, Radiology, Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, and the full complement of medical and surgical specialties who are involved in the care of cancer patients. In addition, you will work collaboratively with your peers to develop a process for establishing clinical standards and adhering to evidence-based guidelines.
As a research leader, you will serve a critical role in the expansion of clinical trials at Northwell Health. By establishing relationships with researchers at the Feinstein Institute and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, you will help increase access to clinical trials to patients in the communities we serve.
As an educator, you will collaborate with medical school leadership on the design and implementation of educational curriculums and train the next generation of physicians at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell.

Our Vision
Northwell Health aims to reshape the future of patient care through the collaboration between the Surgery Service Line and the Cancer Institute. The Surgery Service Line focuses on providing the highest level of surgical expertise by continually enhancing the quality, education, research and innovative techniques in surgery that result in the most optimal care for our patients. The Northwell Health Cancer Institute is a national leader in standardizing high quality cancer care and addressing geographic, ethnic and economic disparities. More than just a Health System, we are a partnered team of clinicians, researchers, and leaders living breakthroughs and looking at healthcare in a whole new way.
Focus on the Whole Patient
As the largest health care system in the New York metropolitan area—and the 13th largest in the nation—patients benefit from Northwell Health’s entire continuum of care. Due to our extensive breadth and depth of clinical services, we are equipped to care for the most complex patients and meet 100% of their clinical, social, and emotional needs.

Northwell Health Surgical Centers and Cancer Institute locations are conveniently located across Northwell Health’s service area.
Unwavering Commitment to Innovation
At Northwell Health, we like to say, we see health care differently. That’s because we are driven by innovation; a commitment that is as unique as it is organic. It is as likely to be found in our environmental services department as it is on our patient floors or in our research labs. It is a way of thinking, acting and believing that, when it comes to health care, we can find a better way. Our goal has always been to be better today than we were yesterday; better tomorrow than we are today. It is a singular focus. It is the Northwell Way. The following pages offer a summary of the role we are seeking to fill. We hope you will be among the chosen to give the best of their energy and skill to dreaming the impossible and making it possible.
