About The Position
CentraCare is seeking an Advanced Practice Provider to join its collaborative cardiovascular team in St. Cloud, Minnesota. The role combines clinic and inpatient general cardiology, procedures, and potential outreach, supporting a diverse cardiology patient population and the structural heart program. The provider will practice with a high degree of autonomy and receive physician collaboration and support. The position also has a dedicated focus on the growing atrial fibrillation program, initially supporting the left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) program. Working with a multidisciplinary electrophysiology and cardiology team, the provider will deliver guideline-directed care, risk factor modification, patient education, and coordinated procedural planning. There are opportunities to expand into broader AFib care and help develop evidence-based pathways to improve access, care coordination, and outcomes.
