As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), we live out our mission daily: to provide compassionate, patient-centered care that strengthens the health of our community.

  • Collaborate with providers, community health workers, and other team members to connect patients with the care and resources they need.

  • Navigate multiple platforms to best serve our patients.

  • Advocate for patients facing barriers—whether that’s transportation, prescriptions, or navigating the healthcare system.

Qualifications:

  • Active RN license in Kentucky and BLS certification required.

  • Nursing degree (Diploma, ADN, BSN, or MSN) with relevant nursing/care coordination experience.

  • Wellness/Behavioral Health experience a plus

  • Reliable Transportation required.
