Job Description

Advanced Practice Provider (Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant)

Primary Care | Outpatient | Value-Based Care

Practice Primary Care the Way It Was Meant to Be Practiced.

We are seeking an experienced and compassionate Advanced Practice Provider (Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant) to join our primary care clinic focused on value-based, relationship-driven care. This role is ideal for an APP who believes great primary care is built on time, trust, prevention, and long-term outcomesnot rushed visits and volume-driven metrics.

In our clinic, APPs are trusted primary care providers with their own patient panels, supported by interdisciplinary teams and a care model designed to keep patients healthy, engaged, and out of the hospital.

Why This Primary Care Role Is Different

• Longitudinal relationships with patients and families
• Proactive prevention and chronic condition management
• Care coordination for complex and high-risk patients
• Quality metrics that reward outcomesnot visit volume
• Time to listen, educate, and partner with patients

What Youll Do

• Provide comprehensive primary care services including preventive, wellness, and acute care visits
• Diagnose, treat, and manage acute and chronic conditions using evidence-based guidelines
• Develop and oversee longitudinal care plans focused on prevention and chronic disease optimization
• Manage medically complex patients and address social determinants of health
• Prescribe medications and therapies within scope of practice
• Collaborate with nurses, care coordinators, behavioral health providers, and specialists
• Use population health data and quality metrics to close care gaps
• Educate and empower patients to actively participate in their care

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary
• Manageable patient volumes
• Team-based clinical support
• Clinical autonomy and professional respect
• Predictable outpatient schedule with no inpatient duties

Compensation & Value-Based Incentives

We believe high-quality primary care should be supported by compensation that reflects clinical expertise, continuity of care, and patient outcomesnot volume alone.

Compensation for this role includes:

• Competitive base salary aligned with experience, scope of practice, and panel responsibility
• Value-based incentive opportunities tied to quality measures, preventive care, chronic disease management, and patient engagement
• Incentives designed to reward thoughtful, proactive care rather than RVU production

For experienced APPs, incentives reflect independent panel management, longitudinal patient outcomes, and contribution to population health goals.

For newer or early-career APPs, the compensation model emphasizes stability, structured onboarding, mentorship, and a gradual ramp-up of panel and incentive expectations.

Our goal is to align compensation with meaningful primary care worksupporting providers who take the time to deliver comprehensive, patient-centered care.

Who Were Looking For

Required Qualifications:

• Graduate of an accredited NP or PA program
• Current unrestricted APRN or PA license
• National board certification
• BLS certification

Preferred Qualifications:

• Primary care or outpatient experience
• Chronic disease management experience
• Interest in value-based care and population health

Community

Lakewood, Colorado offers providers an excellent quality of life with the convenience of Denver access and the beauty of the Rocky Mountain foothills nearby. Located just west of Denver, Lakewood is ideal for those who want suburban comfort, quick access to city amenities, and plenty of outdoor recreation close to home.

For providers relocating to the area, Lakewood is especially appealing because of its balance of convenience and lifestyle. Residents can enjoy easy access to restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and cultural attractions throughout the Denver metro area, while still being close to hiking, biking, parks, and mountain views. The Belmar area offers a popular mix of shopping, dining, and community amenities, and nearby attractions include Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Dinosaur Ridge, golf courses, and Colorado Mills.

Outdoor recreation is one of Lakewoods biggest advantages. Bear Creek Lake Park spans 2,624 acres and offers hiking, picnicking, camping, fishing, boating, windsurfing, mountain and road biking, a swim beach, and an archery range. The city also provides access to hiking, biking, and equestrian trails, including trail systems at Bear Creek Lake Park and Hayden Park on Green Mountain.

Another major perk is William F. Hayden Park on Green Mountain , which includes more than 2,400 acres of open space and a network of multi-use trails. The summit of Green Mountain offers views of the Denver metro area to the east and high mountain peaks to the west.

With its strong access to Denver, nearby mountain recreation, established neighborhoods, parks, shopping, and local amenities, Lakewood is a great fit for providers looking for career opportunity and an active Colorado lifestyle without being directly in the center of the city.
