Porter is expanding into Michigan and is looking for Nurse Practitioners like you!

This role will be based in the Grand Rapids area, with travel required throughout the state.

Who We Are

This new era of health innovation offers the opportunity to lower costs, boost access and inclusivity, and revolutionize treatment experiences and outcomes for all consumers. Our consumer-centered ecosystem demystifies healthcare decisions for consumers and providers.

  • 3 years of patient care experience required (experience in primary care/adult/geriatric, and EMR skills preferred)
