To prospective teammates,

I am the regional medical director for Sound’s hospitalist practice at OSF Sacred Heart in Danville, Illinois. I have proudly been a part of Sound for three years and welcome interest from experienced hospitalists looking to take the next step in their career. I would like to share more about it, specifically about our people, practice, and purpose, as you consider your next steps:

• We usually meet monthly for team meetings and have daily huddles with the team.
• I am looking for a strong clinician and leader who would love the opportunity to build a team from the ground up.
• This is a full-time clinical position.
• Our compensation package is very competitive, and you can earn $400k plus additional incentives through productivity and quality bonuses.
• Benefits include medical, dental, vision, life, and AD&D insurance, long- and short-term disability, 401k with match, paid medical malpractice and tail coverage, and annual CME allowance.

Purpose

• We put patients first. Always.
• A focus on growth and development is a key feature of Sound’s practices, where teammates can expand their careers locally and within the broader medical group.
• We are a community-minded team and encourage team members who want to contribute in and out of the hospital to help make our local community thrive.
