Job Description

Position : Nurse Practitioner- Post Transplant

Location : Sacramento, California

Schedule : Full-time, Monday–Friday

About the Organization

We are a purpose-driven healthcare provider focused on delivering compassionate, coordinated care to older adults and high-risk populations across underserved communities. Our care model is proactive, value-based, and clinician-led, emphasizing outcomes over volume and patient trust over transactional medicine.

Working across a network of primary care practices and health plan partnerships, we aim to improve access, reduce unnecessary hospital utilization, and ensure a high-touch experience for every patient we serve.

About the Role

This full-time Nurse Practitioner opportunity centers around long-term, post-transplant care — specifically for kidney recipients one year or more after transplantation. The role involves a mix of in-clinic and in-home visits across the Sacramento region, focused on chronic condition management, immunosuppressive regimen oversight, and improving long-term graft and patient outcomes.

This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled and detail-oriented NP passionate about continuity care, interdisciplinary collaboration, and supporting patients in navigating complex health conditions outside of traditional hospital systems.

  • Support high-risk patients during care transitions with personalized follow-ups and care navigation
  • Serve as a clinical quarterback, proactively coordinating care needs across specialties

    • Administrative & Compliance

  • Maintain HIPAA-compliant records and safeguard patient privacy at all times
