Your Expertise Can Make a Difference
Southern Health Partners is launching a new correctional healthcare program at Worth County Jail, and we're seeking a qualified Psychiatrist or Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner to provide behavioral health expertise and psychiatric support to the healthcare team.
This is an opportunity to use your specialized experience to support an underserved population while maintaining a flexible commitment of up to 2 hours per week.
Even better, this position offers the flexibility to provide services onsite at Worth County Jail or through telehealth, depending on the needs of the program and provider.

- Providing clinical guidance related to behavioral health treatment

Onsite or Telehealth Flexibility
Not every clinical opportunity requires you to be physically onsite.
This position offers the flexibility to provide psychiatric services onsite at Worth County Jail or through telehealth, giving qualified providers the opportunity to choose the setting that best fits their availability and the needs of the program.
With a commitment of up to 2 hours per week, this can be an excellent opportunity to complement an existing practice or professional schedule.
Make an Impact in a Different Kind of Setting
Correctional healthcare provides an opportunity to reach patients who may have limited access to consistent behavioral healthcare.
