New anesthesia partner selected for Saint Joseph

By John Tynes, MD, MBA, Saint Joseph Hospital Chief Medical Officer

I am pleased to announce that we have selected Sound Physicians as our new partner for the provision of all anesthesia services at Saint Joseph Hospital. Sound is a national company with extensive experience and expertise in anesthesia and will provide a seamless transition to support clinical needs in all our procedural areas. 

Our current provider, Colorado Permanente Medical Group, will continue to provide services at Saint Joseph until the end of their current contract in August of this year, at which time the Sound anesthesia group will take over as our sole-source provider of anesthesia services.

Sound is excited to join the Saint Joseph medical staff, is eager to engage in transition planning during the next several months and will work collaboratively with CPMG to ensure a smooth transition without operational disruptions or interruption of patient care. I am grateful to CPMG for its partnership and service to our patients.

We will provide opportunities soon for surgeons and procedural staff to meet with representatives from Sound, hear about their model for care delivery and begin transition planning.

Thank you for your support during this transition and your continued focus on providing the highest-quality, safest care.
