To our prospective hospitalist teammates,

As Sound’s medical director at Piedmont Macon, I oversee a team of eighteen highly experienced physicians and two advanced practice providers (APPs). We proudly collaborate with our hospital’s internal medicine residency program, with four of our hospitalists choosing to continue here after their residencies, reflecting our strong work ethic and teamwork.

Our commitment is to deliver the best care to residents of Central Georgia, guided by our core values of compassion, respect, trust, and integrity. Our leadership team shares our dedication to improving patient lives, and we’re pleased to have earned the 2021 Symphony Award from Sound Physicians for clinical quality improvements.
