Nurse Practitioner/Physician Assistant - School-Based Health Centers

Every Child Pediatrics • Aurora, CO

About The Position

Every Child Pediatrics is currently looking for an experienced, board-certified Advanced Practice Professional (Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant) to work at our School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs) part-time or full-time (16-32 hours per week). Our SBHCs are critical health resources designated to see Aurora Public School District students and their siblings (ages birth through 18). Our SBHCs offer medical, behavioral, and dental health services in addition to connecting families to community resources. The ideal candidate has a passion for working with low-income children, adolescents, and immigrant families. Daily patient volume is lower than in a traditional pediatric clinic to ensure clinicians can meet the complex needs of these high-risk youth. At Every Child Pediatrics, no child is ever turned away due to insurance status or the inability to pay, so our providers are empowered to invest in the lives of these children and make a lasting impact through long-term primary care relationships.
