WHO WE ARE 
Planned Parenthood Association of Utah (PPAU) is a non-profit family planning agency and a leader in sexual and reproductive healthcare, advocacy, and education in the state of Utah. We provide high-quality, affordable sexual and reproductive health care for Utahns/people in six health centers across the state.
At PPAU, care is much more than the health, education, and advocacy services we provide; it’s the way we approach our world with compassion and a constant desire to improve. We care with kindness, respect, and are passionate about helping adults and teens of all genders, sexual orientations, races, religions, ethnicities, abilities, and cultural backgrounds lead healthy lives. 
The Medical Provider (APRN or PA) delivers high-quality, patient-centered reproductive and sexual healthcare in alignment with the mission and values of Planned Parenthood Association of Utah (PPAU). With the collaboration of the affiliate Medical Director and the Health Center Manager, the provider functions in an expanded role with special emphasis on providing comprehensive reproductive healthcare to all patients, including people of all genders. As a member of the health services team, the provider participates in the development and implementation of processes that ensure safe, effective, and compassionate care. In addition to delivering a full range of services — including family planning, preventive health screenings, and diagnosis and treatment of reproductive health concerns - the provider supports quality improvement initiatives, fosters a culture of teamwork and excellence, and helps advance PPAU’s commitment to accessible, inclusive healthcare for the community.
This position will be based out of our South Jordan Health Center, with a schedule of 32–40 hours per week depending on candidate preference.
