About The Position

MPAC Healthcare is seeking a Licensed Clinician (LCSW, LPC, or LMFT) to provide patient-centered mental health care to older adults in a skilled nursing facility setting in Staunton, Virginia.

The role also requires staying current on Medicare benefits and commercial insurance plans.
