Who We Are

Who We Are: Our Purpose and Ambition

At Sound, our purpose is simple yet powerful: make healthcare more human. For nearly 25 years, we’ve partnered with hospitals and communities to deliver care that is intentional, compassionate, and designed for impact because at the heart of everything we do is one truth: we’re humans caring for humans.

As a physician‑led organization, we’re driven by an ambition to be a catalyst for change in a complex healthcare system. Our clinical partnerships help unlock quality, affordable, and dignified care for everyone, everywhere. Behind every patient story is a team of passionate professionals working together to make that possible. Healthcare is challenging and ever evolving, which is why we never settle for “good enough.” We look ahead, anticipate what’s next, and design better ways of working because better care does not happen by accident. It happens by design, through collaboration, ingenuity, and a shared commitment to doing what is right for patients and communities.

Our people are the heart of our mission. Whether you’re at the bedside or behind the scenes, you play a vital role in bringing better care to life. We believe in creating an environment where you can thrive, personally and professionally—because when you’re supported, you can make the greatest impact.

Here’s what you’ll find when you join Sound:

Nationwide support and local autonomy—the resources you need, with the freedom to lead.
Empowered leadership—leaders who listen, guide, and champion your success.
Meaningful connections—collaboration without silos, because we’re stronger together.
Unified by purpose, driven by impact—every role matters in shaping better outcomes.
Purposeful growth and development—your career, your goals, our commitment.

We know that growth looks different for everyone. That’s why we invest in development opportunities that help you advance your skills, expand your impact, and build a career with purpose. At Sound, you’re not just filling a role—you’re shaping the future of healthcare.

Building a culture of Excellence

Our values are not just words. They guide our actions, decisions, and interactions with one another, and most of all our patients. We are committed to strengthening our medical group by staying true to our values— uncompromising care, accountability, collaboration, empathy, and ingenuity. To that end, the following guiding principles will continue to shape our hiring practices, our learning and promotional opportunities, and our compliance culture:

Our patients deserve the best possible care, free from bias or barriers
We invite diverse perspectives that lead to smarter teams and better decisions
We believe inclusive leaders are stronger leaders
There is no place for unkindness here

We will actively cultivate a culture of excellence - anchored on these principles, where our people, partners, and patients thrive.
