To our prospective teammates,

I am the chief CRNA for Sound’s anesthesia practice at Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center in Poplar Bluff, MO. I have been at Poplar Bluff Regional for six years, and I am proud of the anesthesia program we’ve built. We welcome interest from CRNAs coming out of training or looking to make a career change who appreciate the opportunity to practice at the top of their license.

• We’re a community-minded team and support involvement and contributions to community health and wellness in and out of the hospital.

If you’re considering a move to the area, Poplar Bluff has beautiful Springside rivers to enjoy. In the summer, you can camp, kayak, and float down the pristine waterways. There are abundant mountain biking and hiking trails in the area. Currently, about 40k people call the region home. Our public school system is safe and provides high-quality K-12 education.  The community is growing and is a wonderful place to raise a family.
