Cheshire Medical Center, a nonprofit community medical center in Keene, New Hampshire, is a member of Dartmouth Health, the state’s only academic health system. As Cheshire County’s only hospital and a major care hub for the Monadnock Region, Cheshire provides broad primary, specialty, surgical, emergency, inpatient, outpatient, rehabilitation, population health, and chronic disease management services.
Anesthesiology Services at Cheshire provide local access to anesthesia care for surgery, endoscopy, obstetrics, pain-related procedures, ambulatory care, and other procedural services, working closely with surgeons, proceduralists, CRNAs, nursing, pre-surgical testing, PACU, inpatient teams, and Dartmouth Health colleagues to support safe, efficient care across the perioperative continuum.

The successful candidate will be a visible, approachable, team-oriented physician leader who maintains an active clinical presence and earns credibility with physicians, CRNAs, staff, patients, and system partners. This individual will promote accountability, collaboration, quality, service, and continuous improvement while strengthening anesthesia coverage, OR and procedural throughput, recruitment and retention, perioperative optimization, and access to both local expertise and Dartmouth Health’s advanced specialty resources.
Qualified candidates will possess an M.D. or D.O. degree from an accredited medical school, completion of an ACGME-accredited Anesthesiology residency and board certification.
