Statement of Position/Position Summary:
This part-time Nurse Practitioner position is for you to provide primary care through house calls to our elderly population. They are often critically ill with multiple co-morbidities.

You will not only care for their acute needs, but manage any unmet medical needs and chronic conditions. A commitment to practicing preventative medicine is a must in order to maintain their best possible quality of life, and, to catch emergent conditions early to prevent those from becoming more serious.
