• Providing medical leadership and ensuring exceptional standards of care
• Guiding, mentoring, and supporting our doctors and teams
• Partnering on financial goals and operational strategy

• State-of-the-art facilities with the latest surgical and imaging technology
• 24-hour ICU coverage and access to a network of specialists for truly comprehensive care
• A strong, collaborative team culture where your leadership will make an immediate impact

Located in the heart of Maryland, our two sites give you the best of both worlds: the historic charm and waterfront lifestyle of Annapolis and the vibrant community of Hunt Valley, just outside Baltimore.

If you are a surgeon ready to take the next step in your career, balancing clinical excellence with leadership opportunity - we'd love to hear from you.

The anticipated starting base salary range for individuals expressing interest in this position is $220,000 to $280,000 per year.
