Genesis Health Care Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The best healthcare model in the world still has a hole in it. Medicaid covers a lot. It doesn't cover everyone. There's a population that falls through every gap - uninsured, underinsured, invisible to the system - that still walks through our doors with a torn ACL, a shattered wrist, a spine that's been quietly failing them for years. They need care. They deserve it. And right now, the infrastructure to fully fund it doesn'texist. 

That's the job. 

The Genesis Health Foundation is the philanthropic engine behind Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine - one of Chicagoland's fastest-growing, most mission-driven MSK platforms. We're 16 clinics deep, running clinical trials, serving Medicaid populations at scale, and proving every day that excellent care and accessible care are the same thing. The Foundation exists to close the last gap: ensuring that patients with no coverage, no safety net, and no other options still receive world-class orthopedic care. 

We need an Executive Director to build the institution that makes that possible. 

This is a founding-energy leadership position. The Foundation has the right mission, the right clinical partner, and the right story. What it needs is an operator who can turn that into a fundraising machine, a community institution, and a durable source of capital for indigent care. 

You'll own everything: strategy, donor development, institutional partnerships, board management, grant operations, community presence, and the organizational infrastructure to support it all. You'll work in close partnership with the Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine leadership team - with direct line of sight into the clinical impact your work is funding. 

When you raise a dollar, you'll know exactly where it goes. 

• Major gifts and individual donor strategy:  identifying, cultivating, and closing relationships with high-net-worth donors who are aligned with the mission 

• Institutional partnerships: foundations, health systems, corporate sponsors, and civic organizations across Chicago and beyond 

• Grant development and management: building and maintaining a diversified portfolio of public and private grant funding 

• Board development: recruiting, activating, and stewarding a board that opens doors and brings resources 

• Indigent care fund:  designing and managing the financial mechanism that gets uninsured patients the care they need, with zero friction 

• Brand and storytelling: turning Genesis's clinical track record into compelling narratives that move donors to act 

• Organizational infrastructure - building the team, systems, and processes to operate a high-performance nonprofit 

You've done this before. You know how to build a donor pipeline, close a major gift, and manage a board that's genuinely useful. But beyond the craft of fundraising, you're motivated by something specific: the belief that access to care is a solvable problem, and that the solution requires both excellent clinical infrastructure and the financial architecture to back it up. 

You're a builder, not a caretaker. You want to create something, not maintain something. 

You understand both worlds. You can sit across from a major donor at a fundraising dinner and walk a clinic floor the next morning - and you know why both matter. 

You lead with the mission, close with the data. Genesis has outcomes. It has patient stories. It has a model that works. You know how to translate all of that into a case for investment that sophisticated donors find compelling and irresistible. 

You're Chicago-rooted or Chicago-ready. This city's philanthropic and civic ecosystem is the playing field. Knowing it - or being hungry to learn it - is essential. 

• Competitive nonprofit executive compensation 

• Direct partnership with the Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine leadership team 

• Real, measurable clinical impact - every dollar funds care for a specific patient population 

• Ground-floor opportunity to build a foundation with significant long-term potential 

• The infrastructure and credibility of an established, growing clinical operation behind you 

Genesis Health Foundation is the nonprofit arm of the Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine ecosystem - a full-spectrum MSK platform operating across 16 clinics in Chicagoland, conducting clinical trials, and delivering orthopedic care to Medicaid populations at scale. Our clinical model has already proven that accessible care and exceptional care aren't in conflict. The Foundation exists to extend that proof to the patients who fall outside every existing coverage structure. 

We're not a charity attached to a healthcare brand. We're the financial infrastructure for a movement. 

If you've spent your career building institutions that make care more equitable - and you're ready to do it at the intersection of a world-class clinical operation and the communities that need it most - we want to hear from you.
