Location: Sacramento, California
Schedule: Full-time, Monday–Friday
About the Organization
We are a purpose-driven healthcare provider focused on delivering compassionate, coordinated care to older adults and high-risk populations across underserved communities.

About the Role
This full-time Nurse Practitioner opportunity centers around long-term, post-transplant care — specifically for kidney recipients one year or more after transplantation.

This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled and detail-oriented NP passionate about continuity care, interdisciplinary collaboration, and supporting patients in navigating complex health conditions outside of traditional hospital systems.
