When you join the Obstetric Anesthesia team at Roper St. Francis Hospital, you are not simply filling a vacancy—you are becoming part of a close-knit group of professionals who have built something special together. This is a team defined by longevity, low turnover, and a genuine camaraderie that makes coming to work a pleasure rather than an obligation. The stability here speaks volumes; when CRNAs find an environment this supportive and a schedule this exceptional, they stay. Your future colleagues have chosen to build their careers at Roper St. Francis, and that collective commitment creates a foundation of trust and reliability that benefits everyone—including the patients you serve.
The culture on this team is professional yet warm, collaborative yet respectful of individual autonomy. You will find colleagues who communicate openly, support one another during challenging cases, and genuinely celebrate each other's successes. There is no toxicity, no political maneuvering, no petty conflicts—just skilled professionals who enjoy working together and take pride in the exceptional care they deliver.
The Chief CRNA leads both the St. Francis and Berkeley OB anesthesia teams. Described as hands-on, approachable, and fiercely protective of team balance, Sabrina sets the tone for the supportive environment you will experience daily. She serves as your primary point of contact for operations and scheduling, ensuring that the rotation remains equitable and that no single team member bears an unfair burden. Her leadership style prioritizes open communication and genuine advocacy for her CRNAs—the kind of leadership that makes providers feel valued rather than like interchangeable cogs in a machine.
Madison Mulkey provides additional leadership support, contributing to a structure where you will have direct access to decision-makers who listen and respond. Unlike sprawling healthcare systems where leadership feels distant and bureaucratic, Roper St. Francis offers the accessibility and responsiveness that allow concerns to be addressed and ideas to be heard.
Perhaps the greatest testament to this team is the way members describe their experience. Words like "supportive," "stable," and "collaborative" appear repeatedly—not as corporate talking points, but as genuine reflections of daily reality. You will work alongside colleagues who provide thorough sign-outs, respect boundaries during time off, and step up willingly when circumstances demand flexibility. In an industry where burnout and interpersonal conflict drive so many providers away, this team offers something increasingly rare: a workplace where you actually want to be.
