Senior Medical Officer/(Hospital) Medical Director
Explanation:
this link is bilingual from Geneva so "Senior Medical Officer" is would be his title in English.

However for the US it seems "Medical Director" is the best equivalent (directs other medical staff and is intermediary physicians and patients)

http://www.wisegeekedu.com/how-do-i-become-a-chief-medical-o...
The position of chief medical officer is an administrative one, in which a medical doctor manages staff and oversees clinical operations and procedures. He or she is the top authority over medical practices within a medical facility, or the practice of medicine within a larger non-medical organization, such as a college. Completion of a physician training program in a medical school is a necessary first step for one who seeks to become a chief medical officer. A typical career path for a doctor who wants to become a chief medical officer is to complete a post-medical school internship, then work as a manager of a small outpatient clinic. He or she would then obtain a position as a hospital department manager, eventually rising up the ladder to chief medical officer.

TO BE NOTED:'The position of chief medical officer is an administrative one, in which a medical doctor manages staff and oversees clinical operations and procedures'
So "the point that CMO is not a doctor is ruled out
