Role Description:

Oak Street Health Nurse Practitioners are an integral member of our Care Teams, which also include Physicians, Registered Nurses, Medical Assistants, Clinical Informatics Specialists, Phlebotomists, and Care Managers. NPs see patients independently and alongside the doctors, depending upon the patient's specific situation. Nurse Practitioners provide longitudinal care and build meaningful patient relationships; this creates trust and helps our patient understand and feel connected to their care plan.

Together this team is responsible for providing and coordinating care for an intimate panel of patients in our neighborhoods. While the typical primary care panel in the U.S. is around 2,500 patients for a single physician, our panels at Oak Street Health are around 500-750 for a team. This creates an opportunity to spend more time with patients, build deeper relationships, and to better execute/coordinate care plans.
