We’re building something significant in central Pennsylvania — and we’re looking for the physician leader who wants to help shape it.
Penn State Health is seeking a Vice President of Oncology Service Line, reporting directly to the EVP and Chief Clinical Officer. This is a rare opportunity to lead oncology strategy and clinical operations across a growing, $4B+ academic health system — one with the only NCI-designated cancer program in the region.
What makes this role different:
This isn’t a siloed departmental role. You’ll have enterprise-wide scope — working across our flagship Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and Penn State Cancer Institute, our expanding community hospital network, and Penn State College of Medicine. You’ll lead quality, safety, and innovation in oncology care while also influencing recruitment, network development, value-based care strategy, and academic-clinical integration.
The system has undergone a remarkable financial and operational turnaround, and we’re now investing aggressively in growth — which means this leader will have real resources, real authority, and a real opportunity to build.
You’re the right fit if you are:
A board-certified oncologist (medical or surgical) with an MD or DO and active Pennsylvania licensure
Clinically active, with 7+ years of experience (10+ preferred)
An experienced physician leader — prior medical directorship or executive committee experience required
Someone who can lead a dyad model with administrative partners and command credibility with academic faculty, community physicians, and health system executives alike
Energized by the intersection of clinical excellence, physician engagement, and strategic growth
Why Penn State Health, why now:
We’re in a pivotal moment — expanding our geographic footprint, building out value-based programs through Penn State Health Care Partners, launching new community hospitals, and deepening our academic mission through the College of Medicine partnership. Oncology is a centerpiece of that strategy, and this leader will help set the direction.
If you’re a physician executive who wants to lead at scale, do meaningful work, and make a lasting mark on cancer care in Pennsylvania — we want to talk.
Based on the campus of Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Pa., Penn State Cancer Institute is committed to fighting cancer on every front: through education and prevention, early detection and diagnosis, effective treatment and survivorship programs. Clinical services are offered in Hershey and at two other locations in central Pennsylvania - State College, Pa., through a partnership with Mount Nittany Health and Reading, Pa., at Penn State Health St. Joseph.
At our primary location in Hershey, our facility provides patients access to all aspects of care in a single destination including:
Infusion therapy suites and private rooms for chemotherapy
A state-of-the-art radiation oncology suite for treatment options that refine tumor targeting and reduce treatment time, such as RapidArc radiotherapy
A chemotherapy and infusion pharmacy staffed by clinical pharmacists and certified pharmacy technicians
An outdoor healing garden that offers a quiet retreat for both patients and families
Seamlessly integrating these services creates a real-time medicine model that helps ensure each patient receives the right diagnosis and the right therapy at the right... time.
Integrated in the same building where patients receive leading edge care for nearly 100 percent of cancer types, research is also underway into the causes, cures and prevention of cancer.
The Cancer Institute has three research programs focused on the themes of Population Health and Cancer Control, Mechanisms of Carcinogenesis and Experimental Therapeutics. Additionally, pediatric cancer research led by faculty at Penn State Health Children's Hospital and Penn State College of Medicine is a highly visible part of the Penn State Cancer Institute and greatly benefits from THON and Four Diamonds.
With a research presence in Hershey and at the University Park campus, the Penn State Cancer Institute is the centerpiece of Penn State’s commitment to discoveries that will lead to the prevention, treatment and cures for cancer.
