Being a perfusionist is one of the most rewarding yet demanding careers in healthcare. Every day, you’re at the heart of critical procedures, ensuring patients receive the life-saving support they need. But with such high stakes comes high stress.
That’s why at Connect Perfusion, we believe in not only providing the best career opportunities but also fostering a work-life balance that supports your well-being. Fortunately, Memphis offers incredible ways to decompress—and one of the best is coming up soon: the Memphis RiverBeat Music Festival.
From May 2-4, Tom Lee Park in downtown Memphis will come alive with the sounds of Missy Elliott, Cage the Elephant, The Killers, and many other incredible artists. This three-day festival is a celebration of music, culture, and community—bringing together locals and visitors for an unforgettable experience.
With general admission three-day passes currently priced at $199, RiverBeat is an amazing opportunity to immerse yourself in a world-class lineup, breathtaking views of the Mississippi River, and a vibrant atmosphere that makes Memphis such a unique place to live and work.
Live music is more than just entertainment—it’s therapy. Studies show that experiencing music in a live setting can lower cortisol levels, reduce stress, improve mood, and even enhance cognitive function.

We know that choosing where to work is about more than just the job—it’s about the lifestyle. Memphis offers a rich blend of professional opportunities and cultural experiences that make it an amazing place to call home. With events like RiverBeat, a thriving food scene, and a strong sense of community, Memphis provides the perfect environment to build both your career and your life outside of work.
