General Practitioner

About Kare Center Kare Center is a multi-service healthcare practice built around a simple idea: patients deserve better than 15-minute appointments, fragmented records, and a different provider every visit. We deliver walk-in urgent care, continuity-based primary care, and a growing menu of complementary health services — all under one roof, all coordinated, all designed around the patient experience. Our clinical team is small, sharp, and supported by modern tools that let providers focus on patients instead of paperwork. The Role We're hiring a Nurse Practitioner to work across our Urgent Care/Walk-In and Primary Care services. You'll move between scheduled primary care patients — where you'll build a longitudinal panel and manage chronic conditions over time — and walk-in urgent care visits, where you'll handle the full acute-care spectrum from minor injuries to higher-acuity presentations that need rapid evaluation, stabilization, or transfer. This is a great fit for an NP who likes variety, thinks fast on their feet, and wants real autonomy in a practice that respects clinical judgment. You'll work at the top of your license, with strong MA and front-office support, modern point-of-care diagnostics, and a leadership team that's actively building — not maintaining — the practice.
