Logan Health is seeking a tenacious and mission-driven Regulatory and Accreditation Specialist to lead readiness efforts across our entire health system.

Our Mission: Quality, compassionate care for all.

Our Vision: Reimagine health care through connection, service and innovation.

Our Core Values: Be Kind | Trust and Be Trusted | Work Together | Strive for Excellence.

Now Hiring: Regulatory and Accreditation Specialist

Location: Kalispell & Whitefish, Montana | Logan Health

About the Role

In this highly visible role, you’ll be the go-to expert managing accreditation readiness efforts for both Logan Health Medical Center and Logan Health – Whitefish. You’ll work side-by-side with our executive team and clinical leaders to ensure all clinics and departments — from front desks to directors — are prepared, informed, and compliant with DNV, CMS, and other regulatory standards.

You’ll oversee the day-to-day operations of our proactive survey readiness program, collaborate with national DNV contacts, and serve as the primary liaison during mock and live surveys. You will be the person who holds others accountable, drives performance improvement, and ensures action plans are completed, documented, and sustained.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead and manage our DNV accreditation program for all hospital and clinic locations across the Flathead Valley.
• Drive performance and follow-through by holding department leaders accountable to survey readiness milestones.
• Actively walk through clinics and departments, identify risks, and work with managers to resolve issues before they appear on a surveyor’s radar.
• Coordinate mock surveys, survey command center operations, and real-time survey responses.
• Write and track corrective action plans, educate leaders on regulatory standards, and promote sustainable improvement.
• Act as the liaison between Logan Health and DNV surveyors, CMS, and state regulators.
• Partner with internal stakeholders across Quality, Risk, Safety, Compliance, and Operations to ensure unified efforts.
• Prepare organizational communication and education plans to ensure system-wide awareness and readiness.
• Travel frequently between Kalispell, Whitefish, and all affiliated clinics — visibility and presence are essential to success in this role.

Who We’re Looking For

This isn’t an entry-level role — we need someone who’s been through it, knows what survey prep takes, and isn’t afraid to demand action. You’ll need confidence, polish, and professionalism — with just the right amount of grit.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Can lead without direct authority and hold peers accountable across the system.
• Is highly organized, detail-oriented, and unfazed by competing priorities.
• Has the confidence to walk into any clinic or department unannounced and offer immediate, actionable feedback.
• Works independently with minimal supervision and thrives on problem-solving and follow-up.
• Communicates with everyone — from front-line staff to executives — with clarity, empathy, and strength.
• Is ready to help build a scalable, sustainable accreditation program that will carry Logan Health into the future.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in a related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• At least 7 years of experience in the healthcare industry, primarily in acute care services.
• Experience with regulatory and accreditation standards (e.g., DNV, CMS, Joint Commission) required.
• 3+ years in healthcare compliance and regulatory activities strongly preferred.
• 2+ years of project management and/or leadership experience preferred.
• Must have strong writing skills and the ability to develop corrective action plans, performance improvement strategies, and regulatory reports.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and ability to learn internal systems.

Bonus Skills

• Prior experience leading mock surveys and managing survey command centers.
• Experience with Leapfrog, Oracle readiness, or system-level quality programs.
• Familiarity with both hospital and outpatient/clinic environments.

This is your chance to lead with purpose and make a lasting impact.

Help us strengthen our culture of accountability, improve patient safety, and drive system-wide excellence.
