Chairman of Anesthesia Department - Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus

Chairman of Department position:
Chair a Department Built for Balance -- Leadership Without Burnout
Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus, a community-focused hospital within RWJBarnabas Health, is seeking a Chairman of Anesthesiology to lead its anesthesia services in Lakewood, New Jersey. This role offers a rare leadership opportunity in a setting that runs more like a surgical center than a hospital--featuring low case volume, predictable hours, and minimal call-back burden.
With no OB, trauma, cardiac, or neurosurgery, and a commitment to serving the local population, this is the ideal position for an anesthesiologist who values clinical excellence, professional respect, and a sustainable lifestyle.
