Job Description
About Atria
The Atria Health Institute is a membership-based primary and specialty health care practice with a focus on prevention and longevity. We bring together a multidisciplinary team of renowned physicians to provide proactive, preventive, and precision-based care for Atria members and their families. All care, including primary care, advanced screening and diagnostics, urgent care, specialty care, 24/7 home visits, and imaging is included in members’ annual fee.
Our mission is to make healthspan and lifespan equal for all by translating science into medicine in real-time, all while bringing humanity back into health care. Delivering such robust, personalized, and preventive health care is complex and requires a team-wide dedication to excellence.
We successfully opened our flagship Institute in New York in 2022, expanded to South Florida in 2024, and will be bringing the Atria experience to the West Coast with the launch of our Los Angeles Institute in late spring 2026.
About the Orthobiologic Program
Atria is launching a precision orthobiologic program, offering regenerative medicine procedures including PRP, Lipogems, A2M/iRAP, and Regenokine delivered within the high-touch Atria care model. The program is led by Ken Zaslav, MD, a board-certified orthobiologic physician, and is designed to give Atria members non-operative, evidence-informed options for musculoskeletal health, injury recovery, and longevity optimization.
This NP role is foundational to the program's launch. The right candidate will work closely alongside Dr. Zaslav as a full procedural and clinical partner performing PRP injections, conducting MSK assessments, managing member follow-up, and helping build the operational and clinical infrastructure of a program being built from the ground up.
Role Summary
The Nurse Practitioner will serve as the primary advanced clinical practitioner for the Atria Orthobiologic Program, operating under a collaborative practice agreement with Dr. Ken Zaslav. This is not a support role; the NP will independently perform orthobiologic procedures, conduct musculoskeletal assessments, manage member care plans, and absorb care coordination responsibilities during phase 2.
This role is ideal for an NP with hands-on procedural experience, a genuine interest in regenerative medicine, and the entrepreneurial drive to help build a new clinical program within a growing, mission-driven practice.

Assist Dr. Zaslav with higher-complexity procedures including A2M/iRAP, Lipogems, BMAC, and Regenokine
Develop and communicate post-procedure care plans including activity restrictions, physical therapy recommendations, and follow-up scheduling
Perform follow-up visits to assess outcomes, manage complications, and determine candidacy for repeat procedures
Operate and maintain clinical equipment including centrifuge, Horiba cell counter, and Sonosite ultrasound; conduct daily QC checks in coordination with the Medical Assistant
Document all clinical encounters in Athena (consultation notes, procedure notes, follow-up summaries) in accordance with Atria standards
Program Development
Contribute to the development and refinement of clinical SOPs, procedure protocols, and member-facing educational materials
Participate in outcomes data collection (pain scores, functional outcomes, adverse events) in support of the program's clinical evidence framework
Actively participate in the evaluation, contributing clinical observations and member feedback to program leadership
