Advanced Practice Provider (FNP or PA-C)

Description

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

Our vision: A healthy community.

As the largest Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in Denton County, we are currently in need of an Advanced Practice Provider (FNP or PA-C) who is seeking to provide exceptional patient care to a diverse population of patients and medical needs. As a community Health Center, we strive to “close the gap” by leveraging our clinic and community resources to provide high-quality, evidence-based care to those in the community who need us most. Focusing on continuity of care, we treat both acute and chronic conditions, including infectious diseases. We also provide excellent primary medical care for children and adults with a focus on establishing a medical home for our patient’s comprehensive healthcare needs.

Our healthcare providers operate at the very highest level of their 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 in chronic conditions.
