The Hospital de la Familia Foundation is in the search for an Executive Director. Please click to view the full position description or to nominate/apply.

Hospital de la Familia was conceived and founded almost 50 years ago by leaders from Italy, America and Canada. Located in Nuevo Progreso in Southwestern Guatemala, the Hospital was originally funded by The Family Club of San Francisco, built in collaboration with local Guatemalans, and formally dedicated in 1976. The Foundation is a USA 501c3, while the Hospital  is incorporated in Guatemala. Working together, the two entities in partnership provide the region’s premier medical care. This includes general surgical/medical care for nearly 20,000 patients annually, eye and vision care, child nutrition and maternal health care, and education. The Foundation orchestrates fundraising, capital improvements to the hospital and its infrastructure, in-kind contributions in the form of devices, drugs and other material, and a broad range of services provided by visiting physicians, surgeons, nurses and other medical professionals of various disciplines.

The Executive Director reports to the Foundation’s board through the Board Chair and Executive Committee, and is the organization’s chief executive responsible for managing HdlFF’s staff, finances, brand, partner relationships and other resources. The Executive Director and Foundation staff will work in collaboration with the USA and Guatemala – based boards, staff, volunteers and partners to expand and strengthen Hospital programs, services, facilities, infrastructure, education and personnel resources.  A webcast describing the scope and impact of the partnership can be found here.
