Overview

If you became a clinician to actually know your patients — not to document and move on — Rapha Health was built for you.

We are a mission-driven, independent primary care practice serving Fayetteville and surrounding communities. Our patients include elderly individuals with complex needs, people managing chronic conditions, and underserved populations who have too often been failed by the broader healthcare system. We exist to fill that gap with consistency, compassion, and clinical depth.

We are seeking a full-time Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to join our onsite team — immediately. This is a long-term role for a clinician who wants to put down roots, build real patient relationships, and practice medicine the way they envisioned it in school.

This role is built for clinicians who want to know their patients by name. It is not the right fit if you are looking for a high-volume shift-based model or a short-term position before relocating.

Why Rapha Health

Most healthcare employers will offer you a larger salary. What they can't offer you is time — time with your patients, autonomy over your clinical decisions, and a team that values your voice in how care is actually delivered.

At Rapha Health, you will have:

• Clinical independence and freedom from productivity quotas
• Meaningful appointment time designed for whole-person, relationship-based care
• Direct input into workflows, operations, and how the practice grows
• A stable, supportive team that respects your judgment
• No non-compete restrictions, ever

About the practice

Founded by Daniel C. Uba, Rapha Health has served the Fayetteville community since 2012. We operate on a biopsychosocial model of care — treating the full person, not just the chief complaint.

Our practice of approximately 6,000 active patients reflects the diversity of Fayetteville itself: families, elderly patients, veterans and military households from the Fort Liberty community, individuals managing complex chronic conditions, and patients who have historically lacked access to consistent, high-quality primary care. Serving this population is not incidental to what we do — it is why we exist.

Our team includes three providers supported by a full clinical staff. Physicians are available for consultation and collaboration daily — the oversight model here is designed to support your practice, not constrain it.

Clinical responsibilities

• Provide comprehensive primary care to adult and family medicine patients
• Diagnose, treat, and manage acute and chronic medical conditions
• Deliver preventive, whole-person, relationship-based care
• Perform basic clinical procedures and diagnostics including X-ray, ultrasound, and EKG
• Document encounters accurately in eClinicalWorks
• Collaborate with physicians, NPs, PAs, and clinical staff
• Contribute to workflow and practice improvement as a valued team member

Practice environment

• ~25 patients per day with 15-minute appointments and a fully supported clinical team — structured to give you time to actually practice the way you were trained
• 6,000 active patients with an emphasis on continuity and long-term relationships
• Modern clinical space with on-site diagnostics and capacity for growth
• Supportive, provider-focused culture where clinicians have direct input into how care is delivered

Qualifications

Required:

• Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant with active North Carolina licensure
• Primary care experience preferred in Family Practice or Internal Medicine
• Strong clinical judgment and patient-centered communication
• Collaborative practice agreement eligibility (NPs) or comfort working in a team-based model (PAs)
• Comfort working in an EMR environment

Preferred:

• Mission-driven and community-minded
• Experience serving elderly, chronically ill, or underserved populations
• Familiarity with military or veteran patient populations
• Adaptable team player who welcomes input into practice operations

Compensation

• Base salary: $95,000–$118,000, commensurate with experience and clinical background. Placement within the range is based on years of experience, specialty background, and productivity expectations — we are happy to discuss openly during the interview process.
• Productivity and quality incentives
• Sign-on bonus: negotiable

Benefits

• CME stipend: $1500 annually
• Health and dental insurance
• Vision coverage
• Paid vacation: 2 weeks

Life in Fayetteville, NC

Fayetteville is one of North Carolina's most affordable and genuinely livable cities — with a character shaped by its diversity, its military community, and its deep roots.

• Home to Fort Liberty, one of the largest military installations in the country — a community of veterans, active-duty families, and service members who make up a meaningful part of both the patient population and the broader community
• Strong public, private, and charter school options throughout the metro
• Safe neighborhoods and abundant outdoor recreation — parks, trails, and green space
• Cost of living well below state and national averages — your salary goes further here than almost anywhere else in North Carolina
• Active faith community, local arts, and a growing dining scene
• Convenient access to Raleigh (1 hour) and the broader I-95 corridor

Whether you have ties to the military community, are relocating from a higher cost-of-living market, or are simply looking for a place to settle and build — Fayetteville offers stability and quality of life that larger metros rarely match.
