To our prospective teammates,

I’m the Regional Medical Director for our intensivist program at Nazareth Hospital, located in the Lexington Park community of Philadelphia. 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 have built at Nazareth Hospital 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:

• We currently staff 1 intensivist and 1 critical care APP on weekdays, with an intensivist in-house on the weekends.
