The Oregon Coast Is Calling Experienced Sonographers

There comes a point in many ultrasound careers when flexibility matters just as much as the work itself.

Maybe you're looking to step away from a rigid schedule. Maybe you want more control over your time. Or maybe you simply want to practice in an environment where your experience is trusted and your clinical judgment matters.

At PeaceHealth Peace Harbor Medical Center in Florence, Oregon, experienced sonographers are trusted to think critically, adapt exams in real time, and contribute meaningful clinical insight. If you're the type of technologist who enjoys combining technical skill with clinical judgment, you'll find plenty of opportunities to do both here.

From general ultrasound and first-trimester OB exams to vascular studies including venous, arterial, and ABI work, you'll see a broad range of cases that keep your skills engaged and your days interesting.

This is an environment where confidence, curiosity, and strong bedside manner matter just as much as technical ability.

Just as importantly, you'll be part of a Person-First, Value-Driven, Highly Trusted organization that believes caring for caregivers is essential to caring for patients. The culture at PeaceHealth reflects that belief in everyday interactions, professional respect, and support for wellbeing.

Why This Role Stands Out

Not every per diem position offers the chance to work in a close-knit coastal hospital where your expertise is trusted, your judgment is respected, and your schedule can support the life you want outside of work.

You'll enjoy the variety of hospital-based imaging while maintaining flexibility that many full-time positions simply can't offer.

What You'll Do

• Perform diagnostic ultrasound examinations using independent clinical judgment
• Adapt studies based on patient history, physician consultation, and findings during the exam
• Identify and communicate pertinent anatomical, pathological, and functional information
• Document results and provide preliminary diagnostic information within scope of practice
• Collaborate with radiologists and providers to optimize patient care
• Maintain equipment and support a safe, efficient imaging environment

Why You'll Love This Role

• Flexible per diem scheduling that can support your lifestyle and personal priorities
• Work with advanced imaging technology including Philips EPIX 7, Siemens Sequoia, and GE Voluson 10.
• Opportunity to practice at the top of your expertise and clinical judgment
• Flexible per diem scheduling with support from a collaborative team that genuinely enjoys working together.
• Work within a respected community medical center where relationships matter
• Be part of PeaceHealth, a Person-First, Value-Driven organization committed to caregiver wellbeing

Compensation

$51.55 - $72.78 per hour, + 15% differential in lieu of benefits

Hiring rate depends on factors including education, training, experience, applicable collective bargaining agreements, and seniority.

Additional Perks

Even in positions less than 0.5 FTE, PeaceHealth offers valuable caregiver support including:

• 403(b) retirement plan for caregiver contributions
• Wellness benefits
• Caregiver discount programs
• Expanded Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Mental health support resources

Who Thrives Here

• Experienced sonographers who enjoy independent decision-making, communicate confidently with patients and providers, thrive in a collaborative team environment, and take pride in delivering exceptional patient care.
• Lifelong learners who enjoy improving their skills and adapting to new challenges.
• Sonographers who appreciate flexibility and work-life balance
• People who take pride in being a trusted clinical resource
• Caregivers who value meaningful relationships with patients and colleagues
• Team members who want their experience and judgment to be respected

Required Credentials & Licensure

• ARDMS required upon hire
• Oregon Board of Medical Imaging (OBMI) Licensure required upon hire
• Basic Life Support (BLS) required upon hire

Education

• Accredited School of Ultrasound Sonography required, or equivalent education and/or experience eligible for ARDMS certification
• Bachelor's Degree in Ultrasound Technology preferred

Experience

• Minimum of 1 year diagnostic ultrasound experience in a hospital facility preferred
• PACS/RIS knowledge required
• ImageCast/CareCast experience preferred

Why You'll Love Living Here

Florence offers something increasingly difficult to find: breathing room.

Instead of spending free time sitting in traffic, many locals spend it walking the beach, exploring coastal trails, fishing, kayaking, or simply enjoying a slower pace of life. It's a community where people tend to know one another, where natural beauty is part of everyday life, and where work feels connected to the community you serve.

For imaging professionals looking for flexibility and balance, Florence offers both.

If you've been looking for flexibility, purpose, and a place where your expertise is genuinely valued, this may be worth exploring.
