As you step into Lawton Community Health Center (LCHC), you'll immediately feel the purposeful energy of a healthcare team dedicated to serving the diverse needs of Comanche County and surrounding communities. This opportunity as a Board-Certified Primary Care Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant places you at the center of community-based healthcare delivery, where you'll establish your own patient panel and develop meaningful, long-term relationships with patients from all walks of life. Unlike high-volume corporate settings where productivity metrics often overshadow quality care, LCHC offers a balanced approach that prioritizes thorough patient interactions while maintaining a sustainable practice model.
Your role will be vital in providing accessible healthcare to a community that truly needs your expertise. Since 2008, LCHC has been committed to ensuring healthcare access for all residents, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay. You'll be joining an organization with a clear mission of creating medical homes for patients who might otherwise face significant barriers to care. This position offers the unique satisfaction of practicing comprehensive primary care while making a tangible difference in addressing healthcare disparities.
The Lawton community has demonstrated a significant need for accessible primary care services, and LCHC has responded by creating multiple access points throughout the area. Your presence will help meet this growing demand while ensuring that every community member has access to high-quality healthcare. With flexible scheduling options and a reasonable patient volume target of 18-20 patients per day when fully established, you'll find the perfect balance between making a meaningful impact and maintaining professional sustainability.
As a board-certified NP or PA at LCHC, you'll practice to the full extent of your training and licensure, conducting preventive care, managing chronic conditions, performing necessary procedures like Pap smears, and coordinating care across the health system. The center's sliding fee schedule ensures that financial barriers don't prevent patients from accessing the care they need, allowing you to focus on what matters most—providing excellent healthcare to every person who walks through the door.
This position at Lawton Community Health Center offers the rare opportunity to build a fulfilling career while making a profound difference in a community that genuinely values your contribution. Here, your clinical expertise transforms into something greater—a vital lifeline for patients who might otherwise go without care, and a cornerstone of a healthier Lawton community.
