Cardiac Sonographer - Echocardiology

About the role

At PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend, you'll spend your days inside the Oregon Heart & Vascular Institute, a regional referral center known for advanced cardiovascular care. Here, patients arrive from across southern Oregon with complex cardiac conditions that require more than routine imaging. Your expertise helps uncover answers that influence treatment decisions, surgical planning, and patient outcomes. Just as important, you'll have the schedule to enjoy life outside the hospital. This full-time day shift works four 10-hour days each week, creating three days for hiking, biking, fishing, family time, or simply recharging. It's a role that combines challenging clinical work with a lifestyle many healthcare professionals spend years trying to find. At PeaceHealth, a highly trusted, person-first, values-driven organization, caregivers are treated with the same respect and compassion we extend to our patients. You can feel the difference in the way teams collaborate, support one another, and recognize the expertise every caregiver brings to the bedside.

Why You'll Love Living Here

Springfield offers a balance that's becoming harder to find. You can finish your workweek and spend the next day walking along the Willamette River, fishing the McKenzie, exploring local trails, discovering a new restaurant downtown, or driving a short distance to mountains, forests, and Oregon wine country. It's large enough to provide excellent healthcare, dining, and culture, yet small enough that life feels manageable. Less commuting. More living.
