Nurse Practitioner / Physician Assistant

About Us

We are a patient-centered urgent care and outpatient addiction treatment facility in Columbus, Ohio, committed to providing compassionate, high-quality care to our community. Our team combines the fast-paced environment of urgent care with the mission-driven work of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), supporting patients through acute illness, injury, and their recovery journey.

If you're an experienced ER provider looking for meaningful per diem work in a less intense but equally rewarding setting, we'd love to connect.
