We are also proud that we were one of the first hospitals in the country to use UV light to try to combat hospital-associated infections. Our ICU is staffed by intensivists, with a significantly lower mortality than the national average. One provider on our ID team also chairs the well-regarded multi-departmental Antimicrobial Stewardship Committee, and the candidate would be expected to participate in those activities.
Our team currently consists of two physicians and a nurse practitioner who treat patients in a judgment-free environment that respects all cultures, races, religions, sexual orientations, and lifestyle choices. The ideal candidate will be patient-focused and have a demonstrated track record of providing compassionate and expert health care. This role would be expected to participate in on-call coverage with the ID team, to provide 24/7, 365 days/year coverage for both office and inpatient services.
