Advanced Practice Provider (FNP) – Mobile Acute Care

Organization: Connected Healthcare Partners (CHP) – Mobile Acute Care Division
Location: Greater Houston, Texas (Service Area)

Connected Healthcare Partners (CHP) is redefining healthcare delivery by bringing high-acuity medical services directly into patients' homes throughout the Greater Houston area.

Our integrated model combines mobile acute care, transitional care management, chronic disease management, and nurse-supported telehealth services to deliver timely, high-quality care in the environment where patients often recover best — their own homes.

Our mission is simple: close the gap between hospital discharge and durable recovery by reducing unnecessary emergency department utilization, preventing avoidable readmissions, and improving continuity of care for medically complex patients.

The Advanced Practice Provider (APP) – Mobile Acute Care serves as a primary clinical provider within CHP's rapidly growing mobile acute care division. This role delivers comprehensive in-home acute care, post-discharge transitional care services, and nurse-supported telehealth consultations for patients requiring urgent intervention in the home setting.

Providers begin each shift by obtaining a company vehicle and mobile clinical equipment before utilizing route optimization and scheduling technology to manage patient visits efficiently across the Greater Houston service area. APPs operate with a high degree of autonomy while remaining closely connected to an interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, care coordinators, and community partners.

This role is ideal for clinicians with backgrounds in emergency medicine, urgent care, hospital medicine, or other high-acuity settings who enjoy independent practice, problem solving, and delivering care outside traditional clinical environments.
