<p>Westover Hills Baptist Hospital in San Antonio, Texas is recruiting an experienced Registered Nurse to serve as Nursing Coordinator for its Cath Lab and Structural Heart Program — a clinically sophisticated role that sits at the intersection of care coordination, outcomes improvement, and cardiovascular program leadership within a six-hospital health system with more than 120 years of community presence. The coordinator owns end-to-end care coordination for TAVR, MitraClip, and WATCHMAN patients, working alongside a dedicated team of cardiology providers, APPs, and PAs across the San Antonio market and surrounding region.
