To our prospective anesthesiologist teammates,

I serve as the regional medical director for Sound’s new anesthesia program at Southern New Hampshire Medical Center in Nashua, New Hampshire. With forty years of experience under my belt, I’m pleased to be part of the Sound Anesthesia family. We’ve created a practice we’re proud of, and we are eager to welcome anesthesiologists who are launching their careers or seeking a change. Let’s take a moment to explore our people, practice, and purpose – the principles that guide us.

People:

• We are a close-knit group of 5 physicians and 18 CRNAs, with two being dedicated in OB.
• We are a cohesive and empowered team, driven by a shared mission to genuinely support one another. Our unwavering commitment to mutual care and collaboration forms the heart of our collective strength.

Practice:

• Southern New Hampshire Medical Center is a 188-bed acute care facility located in the heart of downtown Nashua.
• We have a medical staff of over 500 primary and specialty care providers from Foundation Medical Partners, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Nashua, and local independent practices. The facility offers a welcoming “family” atmosphere with a great culture and strong provider support.
• Our hospital is a thriving community hospital, where we manage level III trauma patients, healthy OB, healthy pediatrics, neuro, ortho, plastics, endoscopy, and bariatrics.
• We do not handle cardiac or thoracic cases at this time.
• We run 11 points of service daily that taper down as the day progresses.
• Our daily work culture reflects a sense of camaraderie, much like collaborating with friends in a professional and collegial environment.
• The site has the modern, leading-edge equipment and technology in every OR! On-site anesthesia scrubs and techs follow the clinicians from room to room and make sure needed equipment is ready for the case ahead.
• We offer a lifestyle practice home call + post call day off
• Compensation is W2 and guaranteed at an annual rate of $525,000, with an additional $25,000 quality incentive bonus. We can look at 1099 options if needed.
• We offer a generous 10 weeks of scheduled time off.
• Our benefits package includes medical, dental, vision, life, and AD&D insurance, long- and short-term disability coverage, a 401k plan with matching contributions, paid medical malpractice insurance, tail coverage, and an annual CME allowance.
• We maintain a high retention rate because we work collaboratively within our team and ensure coverage for time off.

Purpose:

• Our guiding principle is unwavering: we always put patients first.
• We highly value supporting growth and development within our organization, providing opportunities for you to explore new avenues locally within the practice or in the broader medical group.
• As a community-minded team, we actively encourage involvement and contributions to community health and wellness, both within and outside the hospital.
• Our partner hospital is excited to collaborate with Sound and our clinicians to build a family within their facility. They are looking forward to a happy working environment within the anesthesia team to provide the best patient care for the community.

Located 45 minutes northwest of Boston, Nashua offers the charming New England small time feel with big city amenities. The town boasts a beautiful downtown shopping experience and picturesque suburban neighborhoods.  There is wide variety of outdoor activities to choose from, including the very famous leaf-peeping season.
