Family Nurse Practitioner

A young primary care organization in Washington, DC is hiring a Lead FNP to anchor four small clinics embedded inside DC public housing communities — serving predominantly Medicaid families across the full lifespan with thirty-minute appointments, onsite labs, and the kind of continuity that actually builds trust. Three days onsite, two days telehealth, Monday–Friday, no weekends. Full practice authority from day one under DC's full scope licensure.
