The Community Health Centers of Benton and Linn Counties are in search of a Registered Nurse Care Coordinator to join the team! Our nurses work in a patient-centered environment with professionals who have a passion for preventive, team-based care.

Making a difference in the community that I live in. Working within a care team but also having the larger RN group to support as needed. Job variability – every day is different. Self-directed – you can tailor the job to your strengths and to the care team's needs. Schedule flexibility for good work/life balance." - Jessica, Registered Nurse Care Coordinator, Corvallis Health Services.
