Job Description

Description

PeaceHealth Medical Group is seeking a Nurse Practitioner to join a practice in the vibrant and growing community of Vancouver, Washington.

Clients may see a psychiatrist for medication evaluations if needed. Typical time in the program is 7-10 days.
  

• Referrals for registering for the program come from many avenues: primary care clinics, therapists, providers, emergency rooms, insurance companies, behavioral health clinics, family members, and self-referrals. Once a referral is made, the ADAPT team will contact the prospective client to explain the program, determine eligibility, and set up an intake/start date.

• The ADAPT clinical team is multidisciplinary, including Nurses, Social Workers, CD Counselors, Pharmacist, Social Worker, Occupational Therapists, Dieticians, Mental Health Counselors, and Psychiatrists.
