Geisinger•Selinsgrove, PA

1d•Onsite

About The Position

Geisinger ConvenientCare+ is a new type of advanced outpatient clinic. The “plus” means that our facility has additional resources and staffing, allowing patients to be seen by a physician who has access to intravenous therapies as well as laboratory and imaging services that were previously only available in a hospital. Patients can walk in or be referred to ConvenientCare+ by their family physician, making it ideal for those having difficulty with current treatments or experiencing a sudden worsening of a chronic condition, and is an alternative to visiting an emergency room for outpatient treatments. You'll provide care in a fast-paced, high acuity environment that acts similarly to an advanced urgent care with Physician oversight. Patient population will include ages >1 year of age to geriatrics.
