A Lean Surgical Team Ready to Expand Under Your Direction
Surgery has been inactive for years, so the staffing model begins small and scales with volume. You join an OR nurse and scrub tech who understand the hospital and can move quickly as surgical services restart. The hospital plans to add more staff as your schedule fills. You influence how the surgical team grows.
Anesthesia Support
Anesthesia coverage is provided by a contracted CRNA group with oversight from an AA medical director. Their schedule aligns with daytime surgical activity. There is no night or weekend anesthesia coverage because the hospital does not manage emergency surgery.
Hospitalist and Referral Partners
Your strongest referral source is the internal medicine group. They identify the majority of surgical candidates and provide consistent communication about inpatient and outpatient needs. As the surgical program grows, ED referrals and EMS activity will shift toward keeping cases in the county instead of automatically transferring them out.
Administrative and Nursing Leadership
The CNO and CEO stay directly involved in surgical planning. They guide OR development, equipment upgrades, sterile processing improvements, and long-term design. Their leadership style is clear and practical. They support the surgeon’s input and want surgery to become a core service line again.
Cross-department Coordination
The hospital’s size creates efficient connections across radiology, nursing, emergency medicine, and outpatient services. You will have access to key departments without barriers. Staff value surgical services and understand the importance of restoring them to the community.
