Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner - Adult/Parents/Caregivers Job at CHI St. Joseph Children's Health

CHI St. Joseph Children's Health Lancaster, PA 17602

Sometimes working in healthcare is not what any of us envisioned. Often, the focus seems more on codes and numbers than truly improving the lives of the patients who come through our door.

What if it was possible to change all of that? What if it is possible to work some place where the goal isn’t the bottom line but is “better” patients? What if you could really practice psychiatry the way you envisioned it as a child, where every day you made miracles happen?

We like to believe that we’ve created such a place at CHI St. Joseph Children’s Health. When we began our journey in child and adolescent behavioral health and psychiatry we started by asking what was possible as opposed to what’s required or what can’t be done. We’re a team of dreamers dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of children and families and that’s reflected in all that we do. Our program is focused on an inclusive approach to tackling behavioral health challenges. We believe that to help the children we serve we must explore not only their lives but their relationships and their environment. We believe that be successful, our approach must be inclusive not exclusive and through this inclusion we make miracles happen. We help children and their families reclaim their lives, we help families rediscover their partners, their sons and daughters. We help teachers unlock the hidden potential of their students.

CHI St. Joseph Children’s Health is currently seeking qualified candidates for a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner - Caregivers and Adult Family Members to join our behavioral health program. Imagine the possibilities of you joining a team of health professionals and a nation-wide health system truly dedicated to improving the lives of children and families.
