Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner – PMHNP | CMH Behavioral Health Transitional Clinic

Make an immediate difference from day one.

Citizens Memorial Hospital is expanding behavioral health access in rural Missouri and is seeking a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) to provide care in Behavioral Health Transitional Clinic housed in Bolivar Family Care Center in Bolivar, MO.

This clinic is designed to provide timely support for patients who need behavioral health care while waiting to establish with a long-term CMH behavioral health provider. It is a bridge model of care focused on stabilization, support, and continuity.

Position Highlights

• Full-time position
• Monday through Friday
• Clinic hours: 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

What You’ll Do

Key responsibilities include:
