To prospective teammates,

I am the medical director for Providence Medical Center located in Portland, OR. I have been a part of Sound since Sound assumed anesthesia responsibilities at PPMC in November 2023 and have been practicing in the Pacific Northwest for over 20 years. I am proud of the anesthesia practice we have built and welcome interest from CRNAs coming out of training or desiring a career change. I would like to share more about it, specifically about our people, practice, and purpose, as you consider options:

People

• We are a collaborative, caring team whose main purpose is bringing better to the bedside.
• We are a newly established care team that will consist of 21 physicians and 50 CRNAs.
• Most of us like to spend time with our families or outdoors, so a flexible schedule is available, and we cover for each other when we are out.

Practice

• Providence Medical Center is a large medical center with orthopedics, general, OB/GYN, vascular, and cancer services.
• We enjoy a fantastic work-life balance that can accommodate your schedule.
• We empower our team to practice to the top of their license.
• We cover malpractice and tail coverage insurance for our PRNs.

Purpose

• We put patients first. Always.
• A focus on growth and development is a key feature of Sound practices, where teammates can expand their careers locally and within the broader medical group.
• We are a community-minded team and encourage team members who want to contribute in and out of the hospital to help make our local community thrive.
