Job Description
Frontier Direct Care delivers direct primary care (DPC) to employer-sponsored patient populations. Our providers manage a defined patient panel with an emphasis on continuity, preventive care, and chronic disease management — a model built around lower daily patient volume and longer visit times than traditional fee-for-service primary care.
We're hiring Family Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants to serve as the primary clinician to provide support, treatment and management to patients. This is a full-scope, hands-on primary care role: you'll manage chronic disease, perform in-office procedures, and build long-term relationships with patients rather than cycling through high-volume, short visits.
Frontier is Growing! We are expanding our direct primary care clinics to include the following areas. If you are interested in learning more, we'd love to speak with you!

Diagnose and manage chronic conditions (e. g., diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia) with the panel size and visit time needed to intervene before conditions progress
- Coordinate daily patient care and task delegation with an assigned Medical Assistant
