Meet The Team

A Team Built Around Trust, Balance, and Shared Work

You join an anesthesia service where every physician and CRNA values stability, fairness, and a clear structure. This is not a departmental culture where seniority dictates assignments. The team functions as peers, making schedule equity a priority. You work with colleagues who chose Cody for its lifestyle, its independence from corporate systems, and its strong interdepartmental relationships.

Physician Group

You work alongside 2 anesthesiologists once the team is fully staffed. One physician is long tenured and deeply familiar with the culture, workflow, and expectations. Another arrives in March after years of practice in Arizona. Both contribute to a supportive environment that keeps call manageable and distributes responsibilities evenly.

  • Three-physician model with equal standing for scheduling
  • Colleagues who communicate clearly about call and case distribution
  • A service line strengthened by new recruitment and upcoming retirements
  • A stable leadership voice guiding the department

CRNA Team

You also work with 2 CRNAs, with recruitment underway for the final position due to a retirement. This group covers all epidural call, which significantly reduces overnight disruptions. The CRNAs manage routine cases, occasionally take their own rooms, and assist with pre-op and day-surgery flow.

  • 2 CRNAs, expanding back to 3
  • Epidural call covered entirely by CRNAs
  • Comfortable with healthy pediatric cases and routine surgeries
  • Collaborative workflow between physicians and CRNAs

Broader Surgical and Hospital Collaboration

You interact daily with high-quality surgeons across orthopedics, ENT, general surgery, OB, and other key service lines. The OR team has improved turnover times and runs efficiently under physician guidance. Hospital leadership is visible, responsive, and engaged with clinical teams.

  • Strong communication with OB, ED, hospitalists, orthopedics, and general surgery
  • Supportive OR nursing and surgical tech staff
  • Leadership that encourages direct dialogue and input from anesthesia
  • A system-wide culture focused on being approachable and team-oriented

Practice Culture

You become part of a system where physicians appreciate autonomy and a manageable workload. People here value the ability to enjoy their time off, participate in the community, and maintain a calm, professional environment.

The department expects you to contribute to this culture by being collegial, dependable, and invested in shared fairness.

You join a team that protects its culture and welcomes physicians who want balance and respect built into their daily work.
