**One Patient at a Time. Focused Care, With Real Results.**
SummitWest Care is a local nonprofit home health agency seeking a compassionate Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to provide skilled nursing services throughout Mesa County. Home health offers a different nursing experience.

For more than 20 years, SummitWest Care has helped Mesa County residents remain safe, independent, and comfortable at home. As a nonprofit organization, we believe exceptional patient care starts with supporting the clinicians who provide it.
