About The Position

NeighborHealth Center is a Christian, mission-driven Federally Qualified Health Center in Raleigh, North Carolina. We believe healthcare is more than treating disease—it is a ministry of loving our neighbors through excellent medical care, compassionate relationships, and faithful service to all who need it. NeighborHealth seeks Family Nurse Practitioners/Physician Assistants who view medicine as a Christian vocation and who are committed to advancing our mission through the daily practice of excellent, compassionate, whole-person care. NeighborHealth family nurse practitioners/physician assistants practice broad-spectrum outpatient Family Medicine across the lifespan, with opportunities to include prenatal care (300+ deliveries annually), procedures, and quality improvement. This role is an on-site position. An on-site 340B pharmacy opening in Fall 2026 and additional Raleigh-area locations planned beginning in 2027 reflect NeighborHealth's continued growth. Our faith shapes not only why we provide care, but how we provide care. We intentionally care for the whole person by addressing each patient's physical, behavioral, social, and spiritual needs through a distinctly Christian model of care in collaboration with behavioral health clinicians, care managers, care coordinators, pharmacists, churches, and other community partners. We believe providers should never have to choose between practicing excellent medicine and fulfilling our mission. At NeighborHealth, the two are inseparable. If you are looking for a place where clinical excellence, meaningful relationships, and Christian vocation come together in the daily practice of Family Medicine, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you.
