APRN / Nurse Practitioner

Practice Medicine Where the Mountains Heal You Back

There’s a place where healing flows from hot springs and snowmelt, where pine forests whisper through open windows, and where every sunrise feels like a quiet invitation to start fresh. Tucked between rugged peaks and wide skies in the southern Rockies, this is a town that reminds you what really matters. And here, as a Nurse Practitioner, your work isn’t just valuable — it’s vital.

In this mountain community, healthcare is personal. You’ll know your patients by name, not just by chart. You’ll serve generations of the same family, and you’ll find that people here don’t just want care — they want connection. If you’re ready to bring your clinical expertise to a place where your impact will be immediate, intimate, and deeply appreciated, this is the role you’ve been looking for.

A Role Built on Purpose and Autonomy

As a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner, you’ll be a cornerstone of care in this rural region — delivering comprehensive services to individuals and families who depend on your knowledge, your calm presence, and your genuine compassion.

Your day-to-day will be rich in variety and responsibility. You’ll perform physical exams, take detailed health histories, and diagnose and manage both chronic and acute conditions. You’ll order and interpret labs and imaging, prescribe medications and therapies, and develop care plans that fit real lives, not just textbook standards.

Preventive care will be essential here — screenings, immunizations, lifestyle counseling, and long-term health education will all be part of your rhythm. You’ll empower patients to take ownership of their health, helping them navigate not only clinical needs but social and lifestyle barriers with trust and clarity.

This is a role that calls for both independence and teamwork. You’ll work closely with physicians, nurses, and specialists — but you’ll also have the autonomy to lead care, make decisions, and drive positive outcomes. Your insight will guide case reviews, your mentorship will uplift the team, and your presence will help shape the kind of practice culture where everyone feels seen, supported, and valued.

The Region That Feeds the Soul

This corner of southern Colorado is nothing short of breathtaking — a mountain town framed by peaks that stretch into the sky and forests thick with aspen and pine. Rivers wind through valleys and meadows bloom with wildflowers in summer, while winter dusts everything in soft white stillness. The natural beauty isn’t just for postcards — it’s part of daily life here.

Locals soak in mineral-rich hot springs after long shifts. They ski, hike, fish, ride, and wander — often within minutes of their front doors. Trailheads are just around the corner, and the silence of a starlit night is still something you can count on. The town is small, but vibrant — with an artistic spirit, a tight-knit community, and a shared love for the land.

You’ll find locally-owned shops, community gatherings that feel like reunions, and a pace of life that makes room for both ambition and reflection. There’s space here — literal and emotional — to breathe, to grow, and to find your footing again.

And while the lifestyle feels tucked away, you’ll still have access to larger medical centers, regional networks, and support systems that connect rural medicine with broader resources.

Who You Are

You’re not just a provider — you’re a person who thrives in relationship. You’ve earned your Master’s degree in Nursing, are licensed (or eligible for licensure) in Colorado, and carry board certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner, Adult-Gerontology NP, or a similar specialty. You may have BLS and ACLS certifications, and if you’ve worked in rural medicine, outpatient primary care, or community health — even better.

But beyond credentials, you bring presence. You know how to listen. You’re comfortable making independent decisions, but collaborative when it counts. You value evidence-based care and cultural respect in equal measure. You’re patient, clear, and grounded — even when your day gets wild.

You’re someone who wants to know the people you serve. Who feels called to care, not just trained to do it. And you understand that in a place like this, your clinical work will only be as meaningful as your willingness to be part of the fabric of the community itself.

Support That Reflects Your Impact

This isn’t just a beautiful place to live — it’s a powerful place to work. You’ll receive a competitive salary that honors your experience and your role as a key provider in the community. We offer comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance, generous paid time off, and paid holidays and sick leave to help you stay healthy and balanced — body and mind.

We also invest in your future — with continuing education support, licensing assistance, and pathways for leadership if and when you’re ready. Our team values every member, and we’re intentional about creating a culture that supports not only patients, but providers.

This is a place where you can stay — professionally, personally, and meaningfully.
