About The Role
Matter Health is seeking an Advanced Practice Provider/Nurse Practitioner to support older adults across Chattanooga, TN. This role may be full-time or part-time depending on market needs.

This is a fully community-based role with no traditional clinic home base. APPs operate with a high level of clinical autonomy while partnering closely with an interdisciplinary care team and dedicated Medical Director for collaboration and support with complex cases.
What You'll Do
