Section Chief of Rheumatology and Staff Level Rheumatology Opportunities in Central CT.

 Trinity Health Of New England—the region’s largest nonprofit health system—is seeking Rheumatologists to join our team. We are accepting Board Certified applicants for the role of Section Chief of Rheumatology, and BC/BE applicants for the role of Staff Rheumatologist. Join our well-established academic practice within Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford, Connecticut.

 Section Chief of Rheumatology

This is a superb opportunity for a midcareer physician to join a busy multisite practice in one of the largest multispecialty physician groups in southern New England. We are seeking someone who has exceptional collaborative, academic, operational and mentoring skills, and who can lead a dedicated group of clinician-educators. Active academic affiliations with two regional medical schools, plus the chance to help build a new multidisciplinary patient-centered facility for complex rheumatic diseases (supported by a recent major philanthropic donation), make this a unique opportunity.  

 Staff Rheumatologist

This is an exceptional opportunity to demonstrate your strong collaborative, academic and supervisory skills while treating patients with a variety of rheumatologic disorders. In this role, you will join four other highly experienced rheumatologists as part of a larger, hospital-based multispecialty group. You’ll enjoy a busy, high-volume practice as well as the opportunity to supervise rheumatology fellows from the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. Fellowship or residency leadership experience is a plus. You may also provide care at four additional satellite offices serving greater Hartford.

Trinity Health Of New England’s collaborative practice model empowers physicians to work at their highest level—and allows time for professional development and family life. Whether you are focused on providing outstanding patient-centered care, teaching the next generation of care providers or growing into a leadership role, it’s time to join Trinity Health Of New England.

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.
