Pediatric Nurse Practitioner chez Health Services of North Texas Inc

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 (PNP or PA-C) who is seeking to provide exceptional patient care to a diverse population of patients and medical needs.  We are currently in need of a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant that is seeking to maximize their clinical experience by providing exceptional patient care across a broad range of integrated healthcare solutions for pediatric patients. We “close the gap” by leveraging our vast resources to enable continuity of care, with a focus providing excellent primary medical care for children.

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.

A day in the life of our Pediatric Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant may look like this:

• Provide professional medical services as the ARNP or PA specializing in pediatrics.
• Reviews initial intake, health history, and laboratory test results, performs physical examinations and designs treatment plans catered to patient’s health status to provide primary care, preventative health care, and health maintenance to pediatric population.
• Provides additional assessments and evaluation of medication therapies and treatment regimen during routine follow up clinic visits, ensuring patients continue to receive effective, efficient health care.
• Educates patients on medication regimens and drug adherences

• Assumes other duties as assigned by the Medical Director
