To prospective teammates,

I’m the Regional Medical Director for Meadows Regional in Vidalia, Georgia. I have been a part of Sound Physicians for two years. I’m proud of the practice we have built and welcome interest from physicians and advanced practitioners coming out of training or desiring a career change. I’d like to share more about it, specifically about our people, practice, and purpose, as you consider options:

People:

• We are a closely knit, established team of six physicians and two advanced practitioners (APPs), with the support of one clinical performance nurse.
• Our group is a new and Sound started hospitalist services at Meadows a little over two years ago.
• Vidalia is quite a little town best known for its Vidalia Onions, and much of the city is composed of farms producing various fruits and vegetables. If you desire a quiet town with lots of open space, Vidalia is the perfect location.
• We enjoy spending time with our families enjoying the outdoors. The weather is fantastic and affords year-round outdoor activities for our families.

Practice:

• We have two doctor rounders/day and one advanced practitioner rounding on patients at a 56-bed hospital.
• APPs operate during day shifts, engaging in patient rounding with about 12 patients per shift.

• A flexible schedule is available, and we cover for each other when we’re out.
• Teammates benefit from Sound’s total rewards program including competitive compensation along with financial, health, & wellbeing benefits.

Purpose:

• A focus on growth and development is a key feature of Sound’s practices, where teammates can expand their careers here locally and within the broader medical group.
