Description
Provide Healthcare the way it was meant to be.
At Hickory Medical, we believe healthcare should be personal, accessible, and relationship-driven. As a growing Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice in Bellefontaine, Ohio, we're building a different kind of healthcare practice—one where providers have the time to know their patients, develop meaningful relationships, and focus on quality care rather than productivity metrics.
We're looking for an experienced Nurse Practitioner who shares our passion for delivering exceptional patient care and wants to be part of a team that's changing healthcare in our community.
This isn't just another clinic job. It's an opportunity to help build something special.
What You'll Do:
Provide comprehensive primary care for patients of all ages.
Diagnose and treat acute and chronic medical conditions.
Develop personalized treatment plans that emphasize prevention and long-term wellness.
Perform physical examinations and routine office procedures.
Order, interpret, and discuss laboratory and diagnostic testing.
Prescribe medications and treatments in accordance with Ohio law and collaborative practice requirements.
Educate patients and families to promote informed healthcare decisions.
Collaborate closely with our nursing staff and fellow providers to deliver exceptional patient experiences.
Contribute to the continued growth and development of the practice.
Why Hickory Medical?
We believe great healthcare starts with providers who have the time, energy, and flexibility to take great care of their patients—and still have a life outside of work.
Our practice offers:
Excellent work-life balance (office hours 30 hours/week)
A lower-volume, relationship-focused approach to primary care
Longer, more meaningful patient interactions
No insurance billing or productivity quotas
A supportive, collaborative practice environment
Greater autonomy in how you care for your patients
A schedule designed to be sustainable
Less administrative burden than a traditional primary care practice
The opportunity to truly get to know your patients and their families
