Infectious Disease Nurse Practitioner
About The Position
KOPA, Inc. is seeking a Nurse Practitioner for Avante at Ormond Beach to diagnose and treat health conditions, promote good health practices, and help ensure high-quality patient care. The Nurse Practitioner will examine patients, interpret diagnostic tests, oversee patients’ health, and educate patients and families about disease prevention.

The Nurse Practitioner will coordinate with facility leadership, help refine workflows and protocols, and provide coverage at other Florida facilities when needed, which may involve occasional in-state travel. The role requires close collaboration with healthcare professionals and a commitment to continued clinical learning and research. Employment is full-time at Avante at Ormond Beach in Ormond Beach, Florida.
