Sioux Falls is one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas (12% in the last 5 years) in the Upper Midwest, and cardiovascular demand continues to rise each year. Sanford is expanding every area of its Cardiovascular Institute and is committing resources toward future Advanced Heart Failure capabilities, including LVAD, adult ECMO, pulmonary hypertension expansion, and cardiogenic shock management. The incoming physician steps into that growth with the ability to influence its direction.
The Sanford Heart Hospital serves as the tertiary cardiovascular referral center for the region. Referrals reach the program from across a wide service area.
The practice is not rigidly defined. It can be structured around the physician's clinical interests and long-term goals.
Sanford is seeking a physician leader and offers defined leadership roles that, for the right physician, may begin at the outset with administrative support.
The opportunity suits a range of candidates.
