Adventist Health St Helena
Mid Level
Launch your surgical journey as a Surgical Tech in California’s Napa Valley, where every scrub, instrument handoff, and sterile field setup accelerates life-saving care in the OR. In this specialized placement, your precision, vigilance, and teamwork become essential to successful surgeries—from routine to complex—while you grow professionally in a fast-paced, high-reliability environment. Visualize the moment you’re among the team that supports patient healing, reduces procedure times, and upholds the highest standards of patient safety. The experience integrates hands-on expertise with continuous learning, mentorship, and the satisfaction of making a tangible difference in people’s lives. You’ll operate in settings that challenge you, reward your accuracy, and ignite your drive to master every instrument, line, and protocol that stands between a patient and a successful outcome. As you bring your technical skill to bear, you also contribute to a culture of precision, teamwork, and compassionate care that defines top-tier surgical teams.
California’s beauty extends far beyond the hospital walls. Between shifts you can explore the world-renowned wine country and the scenic Napa Valley, stroll riverfront trails, or savor sunset dinners in towns known for culinary excellence. The state offers sunlit hills, coastal cliffs along dramatic shorelines, towering redwoods to awe-inspiring red-carpet views in cityscapes, and opportunities to reconnect with nature in tranquil settings. This backdrop provides a rejuvenating rhythm between meaningful work and restorative downtime, helping you return to the OR with renewed focus and energy.
Location benefits start with Saint Helena—a welcoming, intimate community nestled in wine country. Enjoy easy access to exquisite cuisine, boutique shops, and easy day trips to world-class vineyards and scenic trails. The environment supports travelers with streamlined housing options, reliable access to healthcare resources, and a network designed to help you settle in quickly. Beyond Saint Helena, this program opens pathways to assignments across locations in the United States, offering you exposure to diverse OR teams, varied case mixes, and the chance to broaden your clinical repertoire while you maintain a balanced lifestyle. You can experience the advantages of a stable base in a picturesque region while embracing the flexibility to work in other cities and states, enriching your professional perspective and expanding your professional network.
Role specifics and benefits. As a Surgical Tech, you’ll scrub and assist in the operating room, prepare sterile fields, gown and glove surgeons, pass instruments, and maintain strict sterile technique throughout procedures. You’ll anticipate the needs of the surgical team, manage instrument counts and specimen labeling, assist with equipment setup and turnover, and ensure efficient flow from patient positioning through recovery. Your contributions help minimize delays, uphold patient safety, and support the surgeon’s ability to deliver precise, timely care. This role provides substantial opportunities for professional growth within the surgical specialty, including exposure to diverse procedures, mentorship from seasoned teams, and potential pathways to leadership, education, or broader intraoperative support roles. In addition to competitive weekly pay in the range of $1,468 to $1,574, you’ll have access to a sign-on or performance bonus, housing assistance to ease transition, and clear extension opportunities to build a longer-term relationship with the company. This assignment offers flexible hours with zero guaranteed hours, reflecting the project-based nature of travel assignments while still delivering a dependable support framework. You’ll receive comprehensive, around-the-clock support from a dedicated travel team with 24/7 availability to assist you during rotations, travel, and any on-site needs, ensuring you’re never navigating challenges alone.
