Position Summary

The Community Clinic Nurse (LPN or RN) is a frontline clinical role supporting day-to-day patient

care operations across two adjacent primary care buildings at the Uptown campus. This is not a

supervisory position; however, the nurse works closely alongside medical assistants (MA) and

collaborates with the supervising clinic nurse to maintain smooth, high-quality clinic operations. This

role requires demonstrated experience in OB/GYN care including gynecologic and obstetric

procedures, and pulmonology outpatient care or willingness to learn both. Additional competency in

primary care including pediatrics is preferred. Proficiency in injections and immunizations across all

patient populations is essential.

Core responsibilities include direct clinical support to provider and MA teams across pulmonology,

OB/GYN, and primary care service lines; triaging inbound patient calls routed from operators;

managing clinical messages through the nursing message pool; supporting walk-in and

unscheduled patient care; and serving as backup to the supervising clinic nurse for huddle

facilitation and operational continuity. Success in this role requires strong clinical judgment,

effective communication, and the ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, multi-specialty

outpatient environment.
