Women's Health Nurse Practitioner

Description

Our mission: Improving the quality of life for all North Texans through medical care, support services and advocacy. Our vision: A healthy community.

We are currently in need of a full-time Women’s Health (APRN or PA-C) that is seeking to maximize their clinical experience by providing exceptional patient care across a broad range of integrated healthcare solutions. We “close the gap” by leveraging our vast resources to enable continuity of care, with a focus on women’s health related care and conditions, including gynecology and prenatal, with a focus on establishing a medical home for comprehensive healthcare.

Our healthcare providers operate at the very highest level of expertise as they provide comprehensive, team-based care in a fast-paced environment within a non-profit, community healthcare setting. Our providers love HSNT because we treat patients from all walks of life--regardless of socio-economic status--for a wide range of acute and chronic physical, mental, and social health conditions and in collaboration with a team of medical professionals.

HSNT is seeking providers that are passionate about providing care, education, and resources in a community health setting to patients and families that have very limited options for their medical needs; and those providers that are ready to embrace the challenge of maximizing their already existing knowledge base and experience.
