To our prospective CRNA teammates,

I am the chief CRNA for Sound’s anesthesia program at Baylor Scott and White – Sunnyvale, in Sunnyvale, Texas. With two years of experience under my belt, I’m pleased to be part of the Sound Anesthesia family. We’ve created a practice we’re proud of, and we are eager to welcome CRNAs who are launching their careers or seeking a change. Let’s take a moment to explore our people, practice, and purpose – the principles that guide us.

Purpose

• We highly value supporting growth and development within our organization, providing opportunities for you to explore new avenues locally within the practice or in the broader medical group.
• As a community-minded team, we actively encourage involvement and contributions to community health and wellness, both within and outside the hospital.
