A northeastern Vermont hospital in St. Johnsbury is seeking a CRNA for ongoing part-time locum tenens coverage with immediate need and long-term schedule stability. The facility operates under Vermont's full independent CRNA practice authority — no anesthesiologist supervision required — and supports a well-rounded inpatient caseload anchored by a high-volume OB service running approximately 30 deliveries per month alongside active orthopedic and general surgery programs. This is a strong fit for a CRNA who wants consistent, autonomous practice in a rural New England setting with flexible scheduling built in.

About the Community
St. Johnsbury anchors Vermont's Northeast Kingdom — a region defined by working farms, dense forest, and some of New England's most accessible four-season outdoor recreation, including skiing at Burke Mountain, paddling on the Connecticut River, and extensive trail networks for hiking and cycling. The area offers a genuinely low cost of living relative to the broader Vermont market, a tight-knit community character, and easy access to Burlington (roughly 90 minutes west) and the White Mountains of New Hampshire to the east — an appealing base for clinicians who prioritize landscape and pace over urban proximity.
