Get Back to Knowing Your Patients
Healthcare moves fast. Packed clinic schedules, short appointments, unfamiliar patients, and constant pressure to move on to the next visit can make it difficult to practice medicine the way you originally envisioned.
At Twin Cities Physicians, we're offering Nurse Practitioners a different way to practice. You'll provide on-site primary care to seniors living in assisted living, memory care, independent living, and skilled nursing communities throughout St. Cloud and Central Minnesota, with additional coverage in the Willmar area as needed.
Instead of seeing a revolving door of patients, you'll have the opportunity to build a consistent patient population and follow their health over time. You'll know their histories, recognize changes, develop relationships with families and community nurses, and become a provider people know and trust.
If you're looking for a role with clinical autonomy, meaningful patient relationships, strong earning potential, and a Monday through Friday schedule, this could be the change you've been looking for.
More Continuity. More Autonomy. More Meaningful Medicine.
This isn't a traditional clinic position. You go to your patients, providing primary care directly within the communities where they live.
That setting gives you a different perspective on your patients' health. You'll see their environment, understand their support systems, collaborate with the nurses and caregivers who know them best, and have the opportunity to identify changes before they become larger problems.
You'll have the autonomy to assess, diagnose, treat, manage chronic conditions, and develop individualized care plans, while having the resources and collaboration of a physician-led medical group behind you.
Practice independently without practicing alone.

Be the Provider Who Actually Knows the Patient
Senior medicine changes when you have the opportunity to follow patients over time. You learn what's normal for them, which chronic conditions require closer attention, how they respond to treatment, and when a subtle change may signal something more significant.
When a resident returns from the hospital, you're there to help reconnect the pieces. When a community nurse notices a change, they have a provider they know. When a family has questions, they're talking to someone who understands their loved one's history.
That continuity can lead to better communication, earlier intervention, stronger care coordination, and fewer unnecessary hospitalizations.
What You'll Be Doing
- Provide comprehensive on-site primary care throughout assisted living, memory care, independent living, and skilled nursing communities
- Round primarily throughout St. Cloud and surrounding communities, with additional Willmar coverage as needed
- Manage your own panel of older adult and medically complex patients
- Diagnose and manage acute and chronic medical conditions
- Perform comprehensive assessments, annual wellness visits, preventative care, and routine follow-ups
- Develop individualized treatment plans based on patient needs and goals
- Manage medications and chronic disease treatment plans
- Monitor changes in patient health over time
- Coordinate care following hospitalizations, rehabilitation stays, and specialist visits
- Collaborate with physicians, nurses, therapists, pharmacists, caregivers, and senior living teams
- Educate patients and families regarding diagnoses, medications, and treatment plans
- Help identify concerns early and reduce avoidable hospitalizations and readmissions
- Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation
Clinical Backgrounds That Transition Well
We welcome Nurse Practitioners with experience in Primary Care, Family Practice, Internal Medicine, Geriatrics, Long-Term Care, Skilled Nursing, Post-Acute Care, Hospital Medicine, Home Health, Hospice & Palliative Care, and other settings caring for medically complex adults.
You don't need to come directly from senior living. If you have strong clinical judgment, enjoy caring for older adults, and want the opportunity to build longer-term patient relationships, we want to hear from you.
What We're Looking For
Required Qualifications
- Active Minnesota Nurse Practitioner (NP) license
- Strong assessment, diagnostic, and clinical decision-making skills
- Ability to practice independently while collaborating within a physician-led team
- Strong communication and care coordination skills
- Passion for caring for older adults
- Reliable transportation and comfort with community-based travel
- Ability to provide care throughout St. Cloud and surrounding communities, with flexibility to assist in the Willmar region
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience managing medically complex older adults
- Chronic disease management expertise
- Primary care, geriatric, or community-based clinical experience
- Assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing experience
- Advanced wound care experience
- Wound Care Certification (WCC) is a plus
Build the Kind of Practice Patients Remember
This role gives you something that can be difficult to find in traditional healthcare: autonomy without isolation, productivity without an assembly-line clinic, and the opportunity to develop genuine continuity with your patients.
You'll have a Monday through Friday schedule with no evenings, weekends, or hospital call, $120,000 - $160,000 total compensation, mileage reimbursement, and the support of an established clinical organization.
Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to become the provider who notices when something has changed because you actually know what your patient looked like before.
