To prospective teammates,

I’m the medical director for MultiCare Covington Hospital in Covington, Washington. I have been a part of Sound for two years. I’m proud of the hospitalist practice we have built and welcome interest from physicians out of training or experienced physicians desiring a career change. My decision to join Sound stemmed from the desire for change and my family’s love for the Pacific Northwest. We also have family and close friends here and wanted to be close to them. I want to share more about it, specifically about our people, practice, and purpose, as you consider options.
