To our prospective CRNA teammates,

I serve as the chief CRNA for Sound’s new anesthesia program at Southern New Hampshire, in Nashua, New Hampshire. With twenty 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 are eager to welcome CRNAs just 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 22 dedicated CRNAs, with two dedicated to OB.
• We form a united and empowered team, guided by a common purpose to authentically lift each other. Our steadfast dedication to caring for one another and working together epitomizes the core of our collective resilience.
• Our team is diverse. We leverage our varied backgrounds to build a collaborative environment where we learn from each other in our shared commitment to patient care.
• I was attracted to Sound due to the multitude of opportunities it offers—clinically, personally, and in terms of leadership advancement potential.
• Sound provides CRNAs with the opportunity to practice at the highest level of their licensure within a supportive and close-knit team environment.
• Nestled 45 minutes to Boston Metro, Nashua offers the charming New England small-time feel with big city amenities. The town boasts a beautiful downtown shopping experience in the heart of picturesque suburban neighborhoods. There is an abundance of outdoor activities available, including the renowned leaf-peeping season.

Practice

• Our hospital is a thriving community hospital, we manage level III trauma patients, healthy OB, health pediatrics, neuro, ortho, plastics, endo, and bariatrics.
• We do not handle cardiac or thoracic cases at this time.
• OB CRNAs will do 24-hour shifts, no-call
• Our daily work culture reflects a sense of camaraderie, much like collaborating with friends in a professional and collegiate environment.
• The site has the latest and greatest equipment and technology in every OR! On-site Anesthesia scrubs and techs follow the clinicians from room to room to make sure everything is staffed adequately for the case ahead.
• Compensation is guaranteed at an annual rate of $330,000, with an additional $8,000 quality incentive bonus.
• We offer a generous eight 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 look forward to a happy working environment within the anesthesia team to provide the best patient care for their community.
