Job Description

Lead the Future of Cardiovascular Care in Northern New York

Build. Lead. Innovate. Grow.

Rochester Regional Health (RRH) and St. Lawrence Health are seeking an ambitious, collaborative, and forward-thinking Non-Invasive Cardiologist to help shape the future of cardiovascular care across the St. Lawrence Region, including Canton-Potsdam Hospital, Massena Hospital, and Gouverneur Hospital.

This is more than a traditional cardiology position — it is a unique opportunity to play a foundational role in the continued growth and advancement of a regional cardiovascular program serving an estimated referral population of more than 300,000 patients throughout the North Country.

As part of Rochester Regional Health and the nationally recognized Sands-Constellation Heart Institute, you will have the opportunity to combine meaningful clinical practice with leadership, innovation, academic collaboration, and program development — all while enjoying an exceptional quality of life in one of the Northeast’s most scenic and welcoming regions.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

You will play an active role in strengthening and expanding cardiovascular services throughout the St. Lawrence Region while helping improve access to high-quality cardiac care in a medically underserved area with tremendous long-term growth potential.

  • Unlike many highly saturated metropolitan markets, this position offers:
  • Immediate clinical impact
  • Strong leadership visibility
  • Meaningful autonomy
  • Program-building opportunities
  • Direct influence on regional cardiovascular strategy and growth

  • Weekly Cardiology Grand Rounds
  • Heart Failure Conferences
  • Structural Heart Conferences
  • Electrophysiology Conferences
  • Cardiac Imaging Conferences
  • Cath Conferences

  • Easy access to the Adirondack Mountains
  • Proximity to Canada, including quick trips to Ottawa and Montreal
  • Four-season outdoor recreation including boating, hiking, skiing, fishing, and camping
