• Chronic Care Management (Full-Time Only): Oversee and manage our Chronic Care Management (CCM) program, ensuring high-risk patients receive consistent telephonic or digital touchpoints between visits.
• Patient Advocacy: Navigate social determinants of health (SDOH) by assessing the patient’s home environment and connecting them with necessary resources.

Qualifications

• Licensure: Active, unrestricted NP or PA license in the state of Tennessee.
• Certification: Board Certified in Family Medicine (FNP or PA-C).
• Experience: Minimum of 2 years in family medicine or home health preferred.

Why Join Us?

• Impact: Play a foundational role in a program that will directly reduce hospital readmissions and improve quality of life for our most vulnerable neighbors.
• Flexibility: We offer competitive compensation for both Part-Time (focused on home visits) and Full-Time (visits + CCM management) tracks.
• Benefits: IRA with match, CME allowance, dental, vision, short and long term disability insurance, malpractice coverage
