To our prospective teammates,

I’m the Regional Medical Director for our intensivist program at Manchester Memorial Hospital, located in historic Manchester, Connecticut. I’ve been a part of Sound Critical Care since 2004, when I joined as a staff intensivist. I’m proud of the critical care team we are building in Manchester and welcome interest from experienced critical care advanced practice providers (APPs).

I’d like to share more about who we are and what we do — specifically about our people, practice, and purpose — as you consider your options:

People

• Our team at Manchester Memorial is a growing team of 3 intensivists and 4 critical care APPs.
• Our team is comprised of clinicians from diverse geographic, educational, and training backgrounds with a shared dedication to the practice of critical care medicine.

This quaint community boasts an array of housing and educational options, both public and private. Eastern and Central Connecticut provide opportunities to explore and unwind within a short commute.

• We currently staff with one intensivist and one critical care APP during the day, with an APP in-house at night with support from our tele-Intensivists.

Purpose

• We put patients first. Always.
