To our prospective teammates,

I'm the Regional Medical Director for our intensivist program at Manchester Memorial Hospital, located in historic Manchester, Connecticut. I've been a part of Sound Critical Care since 2004 when I joined as a staff intensivist. I'm proud of the critical care team we are building in Manchester and welcome interest from new graduates and practicing critical care physicians.

I'd like to share more about who we are and what we do - specifically about our people, practice, and purpose - as you consider your options:

• Our team at Manchester Memorial is a growing team of 3 intensivists and 4 critical care advanced practice providers (APPs).
• Our team is comprised of clinicians from diverse geographic, educational, and training backgrounds with a shared dedication to the practice of critical care medicine.
• Within the hospital, we work closely with our colleagues in other departments to ensure smooth transitions of care. We encourage our team members to be active participants in committees and to become part of the larger hospital team.

• Manchester Memorial Hospital is a 249-bed community hospital and part of the larger Eastern Connecticut Health Network. A longstanding part of the community, Manchester Memorial provides the community with compassionate and comprehensive care, close to home.
• Manchester is conveniently located between two major metro areas, New York and Boston, and is situated just outside of Hartford. This quaint community boasts an array of housing and educational options, both public and private. Eastern and Central Connecticut provide opportunities to explore and unwind within a short commute.
• Our ICU cares for medical and surgical patients with support from a full complement of medical subspecialists.
• We currently staff with one intensivist and one critical care APP during the day, with an APP in-house at night with support from our tele-intensivists.
• Intensivist-led multidisciplinary rounds are a fundamental part of our practice and occur every day with active team participation.
• Benefits include medical, dental, vision, life, and AD&D insurance, long- and short-term disability, 401k, paid medical malpractice with tail coverage, and annual CME allowance.

• We put patients first. Always.
• We value and support growth and development in our critical care medicine practice, allowing you to explore new opportunities locally and within the broader medical group.
• We're a community-minded team and support involvement and contributions to community health and wellness in and out of the hospital.
