    Urgent Sha'Diea Integrated Care, a new medical facility, is actively seeking dedicated Family Nurse Practitioners (FNPs) to join our dynamic team. In this pivotal role, FNPs will deliver comprehensive primary care services to patients of all ages, with a keen focus on recognizing and addressing their overall health.

    The responsibilities of the FNPs will encompass prescribing initial medications and providing insightful health counseling, all while prioritizing holistic, patient-centered care that spans the entire lifespan. Our FNPs will play a vital role in promoting overall health, preventing diseases, and equipping patients and their families with the knowledge and tools necessary for managing both acute illnesses and chronic health conditions effectively.

    Candidates must hold active licensure in both Oregon and Washington, as they will be collaborating closely with a team of experienced Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs) and Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs). This collaboration is essential to ensure a well-rounded approach to patient care.

    Successful applicants will exhibit a high degree of self-motivation and confidence in their professional skills, alongside a proven proficiency in case management and the ability to work effectively with diverse patient populations. The position entails work in both Oregon and Washington State, and candidates must reside in either Oregon or Vancouver, WA. Flexibility is key, as FNPs will be providing care across both locations, including the option for telehealth services to accommodate patient needs. Join us in making a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals and families in our community!
