• Provide exceptional and compassionate care for our patients from admission through discharge
• Provide anesthesia support and patient recovery for patients of all ASA levels undergoing diagnostic imaging
• Operate, maintain, and troubleshoot Diagnostic Imaging modalities (CT and MRI) and anesthetic equipment
