Gastroenterology Opportunity 

Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford, Connecticut—a member of Trinity Health, the nation’s second-largest nonprofit health system—seeks a BC/BE gastroenterologist who values his or her patients and colleagues and is ready to join an affiliated practice of six gastroenterologists to work full or part time. Several members of the practice have been recognized by Best Doctors Inc. and by Connecticut Magazine as being among the “Top Docs” in Connecticut.

This busy practice includes several offices in the greater Hartford area and participates with 10 gastroenterologists in the call group. Endoscopic procedures are performed at our free standing ambulatory endoscopy center and at the hospital’s state-of-the-art endoscopy unit.  The position offers the opportunity to become a partner in the practice and equity shareholder in the ambulatory endoscopy center in two years.

Saint Francis Hospital is a major teaching institution which affords the opportunity to teach GI fellows, residents and medical students affiliated with the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. Saint Francis is proud of its history of provider collaboration.  Our practice model empowers our physicians to work at their highest level—and allows time for professional development and family life. If you are focused on providing outstanding patient-centered care, it’s time to join Saint Francis.

Best Care for a Lifetime
Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center has come a long way since 1897, when the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Chambéry overcame near-impossible odds to open a two-room hospital in Hartford’s Asylum Hill neighborhood. The new hospital offered a refuge for immigrants who wanted to know that their faith and traditions would be understood and appreciated if they ever needed inpatient care.

In 1990, Saint Francis affiliated with Mount Sinai Hospital, a Jewish-sponsored institution that opened in 1923. Mount Sinai was born of a vision similar to the one that led to the founding of Saint Francis decades earlier. The collaboration marked the first recorded instance of a Catholic and Jewish hospital affiliation in United States history. The arrangement was formalized as a corporate merger in 1995.

As the needs of Connecticut residents evolve, so does Saint Francis. In 2011, the John T. O’Connell Tower opened its doors. Ten stories high, the tower features a new emergency department with 70 treatment areas, 13 sheltered ambulance bays, and a rooftop helipad. The upper floors are home to 19 new operating rooms and 135 private patient rooms, including two floors dedicated to orthopedics.

From a fledgling hospital with 32 patients in a ward, Saint Francis has grown into New England’s largest Catholic hospital, with 617 licensed inpatient beds, 65 bassinets, and five centers of excellence that embrace patients at every stage of lifetime.

Responding to the dynamics of the changing marketplace, the hospital recently adopted a five-year strategic plan designed to position it for future growth. The plan sets forth a road map for delivering on its promise of BestCare for a LifetimeSM. Toward that end, a patient-centered model of care has been envisioned to produce the perfect patient experience and the highest measurable quality across the continuum of care needed by our community.
