Job Description

Sadler Health Center is looking for a Physician Assistant who wants the full breadth of family medicine back.

Not a narrow slice of it. Here you will care for newborns, teenagers, working adults, and elders — often from the same family, sometimes on the same afternoon — and you will keep caring for them for years.

As a Federally Qualified Health Center, we serve patients regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.

That means your panel will include people managing multiple chronic conditions alongside real social complexity: uncontrolled diabetes and hypertension, anxiety and depression, ADD/ADHD, substance use, housing and food insecurity. It is demanding work.

It is also the work that changes outcomes, and you will not be doing it alone — behavioral health, case management, pharmacy, and community health workers are embedded on your team and a referral away, not a fax away.

What You'll Do

  • Provide comprehensive primary and family care to patients of all ages, in accordance with Pennsylvania licensure and your professional scope of practice.
  • Diagnose and manage complex, comorbid presentations — including hypertension, diabetes, anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, and pediatric acute and well care — and escalate or refer when the patient needs more.
  • Order, interpret, and integrate laboratory and diagnostic results into sound assessments and treatment plans.
  • Coordinate transitions of care as patients move between inpatient, emergency, and community-based settings.
  • Drive preventive care: routine screening, immunizations, well visits, and connection to community resources for the patient and their family.
  • Educate patients and families on medications and treatment plans, engaging case management when needed.

What You Bring

Required

  • Graduate of an ARC-PA (AMA-approved) Physician Assistant program; master's-level degree.
  • Minimum of two (2) years of post-graduate experience as a Physician Assistant in primary care. Candidates with substantially more experience are encouraged to apply.
  • Current, valid Physician Assistant license issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
  • Current certification by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA).
  • Ability to obtain a valid DEA Controlled Substance Registration Certificate prior to start date
  • Sound clinical judgment, strong written and verbal communication, and the ability to work independently in a fast-moving clinic.
  • Proficiency with electronic medical records and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook).

Preferred

  • Experience in a community health center, FQHC, or public health clinic setting.
  • Experience serving low-income, multi-ethnic, and medically underserved populations.
  • Bilingual (Spanish/English) or additional language capability.
  • Experience with value-based care, HEDIS/UDS quality measures, or PCMH workflows.
  • Sadler offers a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision coverage; employer-sponsored retirement plan; paid time off and paid holidays; CME allowance and paid CME time; licensure and DEA reimbursement; and federal malpractice coverage under FTCA.

Key Responsibilities

Provide comprehensive primary and family care to patients of all ages, including diagnosing and managing complex comorbid conditions. Coordinate transitions of care and drive preventive health initiatives while collaborating with an embedded multidisciplinary team.

Requirements

Requires a master's-level degree from an ARC-PA approved Physician Assistant program and at least two years of post-graduate primary care experience. Must hold a current Pennsylvania Physician Assistant license and NCCPA certification.
