Form of workTo our prospective teammates,
I am the medical director for Carondelet Holy Cross in Nogales, Arizona. I’ve been a part of Sound Physicians for the past five years. I extend a warm welcome to Emergency Medicine Physicians who seek new opportunities or are embarking on a career change. Allow me to provide you with insights into our organization, focusing on our dedicated people, our clinical practice, and our unwavering purpose as you contemplate your next steps:
People
- We’re a hardworking, close-knit team of seven physicians and three advanced practice providers (APPs) who work and communicate well with each other.
- We thrive on the diversity of our clinicians, hailing from diverse geographic, educational, and training backgrounds. We continuously learn from one another to approach patient care with fresh perspectives.
- We want to keep the team involved and hear their opinions and voice when making changes within the team. We value strong work ethic and honesty, and patient safety always comes first.
- Teamwork is at the heart of what we do. We are always ready to lend a helping hand – even during procedures and at shift change.
- Many of us are active on hospital committees, including the medical executive committee, which helps solidify our relationships with specialists and our very supportive administration. Clinicians can champion specific projects that help improve care, such as working to update current order sets.

- We see high-acuity patients and admit over 20% of our patients.
- We have access to the following subspecialists: OB, general surgery, peds, and hospital medicine.

- A focus on growth and development is a key feature of Sound, where teammates can expand their careers here locally and within the broader medical group.
- We’re a community-minded team and encourage our team members who want to contribute in and out of the hospital to help make our local community thrive.
Nogales, Arizona, may appeal to individuals seeking a diverse cultural experience due to its location on the U.S.-Mexico border, fostering a unique blend of American and Mexican influences. Additionally, the region offers a relatively mild climate, with opportunities for outdoor activities and proximity to the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert.
