Pulmonology Nurse Practitioner
About The Position
KOPA, Inc. is seeking a Pulmonology Nurse Practitioner to provide care at Avante at Leesburg in Leesburg, Florida. The Nurse Practitioner diagnoses and treats health conditions, promotes good health practices, conducts physical examinations, interprets laboratory tests, and oversees patients’ health.

The Nurse Practitioner works closely with other healthcare professionals and should bring a team-oriented, positive approach, patience, problem-solving skills, and strong communication ability. The role also includes supervising and developing a team of nurse practitioners, supporting facility workflows and clinical practices, and providing coverage at other Florida facilities when needed, which may involve occasional in-state travel.
