Job Description

We are seeking a tenth neonatologist to join our progressive, growing neonatal practice at Mercy Children’s Hospital in St. Louis. MO.

Responsibilities

  • We have a team approach toward care in this 100-bed, Level-IV NICU
  • Average daily census of 90, with 1,500 admissions and more than 10,000 deliveries annually
  • Neonatologists and NNPs provide 24-hour, in-house care

We provide a challenging clinical environment including conventional and high-frequency (both HFJV and HFOV) ventilation, nitric oxide and whole body cooling

Our team works in close collaboration with a full complement of pediatric sub-specialists, including pediatric surgery, in a suburban Children's Hospital environment

We have been long time members of the Vermont-Oxford network and our VON team maintains continuous involvement in QI initiatives

Area: St. Louis is a cosmopolitan city, offering a multitude of recreational opportunities -- from major league sports teams to spectacular parks and golf courses to beautiful hiking and canoeing nearby.

A community with a remarkably low cost of living for all of the comforts and attractions it affords, St. Louis is a big city with the convenience and sense of connectedness of a smaller one.

The area prides itself on its award-winning school systems which feature many public school districts along with numerous private and secondary schools and is home to multiple major universities. Whether you prefer to live in the city or the suburbs, there is something for everyone.

Overall, St. Louis has a sanity about it that's increasingly difficult to find. Perhaps that’s why it is consistently ranked among the most philanthropic cities in the country: People care about one another and their community.
