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 physicians coming out of training or desiring a career change. I want to share more about it, specifically about our people, practice, and purpose, as you consider options:
