Job Summary

Across the healthcare industry nationwide, hospitals and health systems face challenges to today’s approaches to expense management, as revenue growth has not kept pace with expense growth. In response to these unprecedented external challenges, MGB launched Sustain in fall of 2023. Sustain is a new ongoing organization-wide program that works to build an infrastructure, culture, and mindset around continuous improvement, working to preserve our four-part mission through focus on resource stewardship. To do this, while also funding needed capital maintenance and improvements to deliver on world-class patient care, research, education, and community health, we must seek out innovative opportunities to optimize the way we work and manage resources across our organization.
