CHS is currently accepting applications for all of the positions with attached job descriptions. Please see attached Job Descriptions for details.
Licensed Family Nurse Practitioner
Join our school-based health centers to serve a population ages 0 years and older! Our clinics provide primary and acute care to all ages and are located in St. Helens, Rainier, Clatskanie and Vernonia. We are seeking a practitioner with a heart for children and youth and some experience with adults as well. Schedules are typically 12 patients or less in a day because CHS providers place additional emphasis on communication and health education in each visit. Many patients have not been seen by a medical provider in an extended period of time so patient care is diverse, complex, and thorough.
