An Independent Practice Focused on Prevention, Patient Education and Empowerment
Discover the exceptional opportunities for Nurse Practitioners at one of Canada’s leading healthcare centres
As Nurse Practitioners at Harrison Healthcare, our purpose is to make a positive impact on our client’s physical, mental, and emotional health. We lead child, youth, and young adult care practices and play an integral role in women’s health and adult primary care at Harrison Healthcare. We provide episodic and prevention focused care in a calm, compassionate environment.
As family-centered providers, we are in a unique position to empower health behaviour change and instill lifelong skills and habits in our youngest clients as they grow. We perform minor procedures, provide after hours on-call care and lead travel medicine service.
Mental health assessments are an important part of nurse practitioners’ practice. NPs normalize the discussion of mental wellness with their clients and take steps towards promotion and maintenance of mental health and management of mental illness.
Career Growth and Development
Harrison Healthcare offers Nurse Practitioners the opportunity to grow a thriving clinical practice where they can truly get to know their clients. Enjoy extended visit times that allow you to build rapport, trust, and ultimately a wonderful relationship where you can nurture and support all aspects of your client’s health.
Harrison Healthcare Nurse Practitioners are well positioned to connect with their fellow clinicians in an environment that focuses on collaborative care. Teams are encouraged to share evidence-based information and educate one another with a goal of providing leading edge care to their clients. A respectful, supportive team who empower each other is at the core of the clinical team.
Career growth opportunities within the role of Nurse Practitioner are important to the Harrison leadership team, who empowers and trusts their NPs to pursue professional opportunities including clinical fellowships, conferences, and continued education opportunities in a variety of specialties. Professional development receives both time and financial based support.
As clinical leaders of Harrison’s children and youth programming, Nurse Practitioners are encouraged to drive evidence-based innovations within all programs – a unique opportunity for those looking to influence positive change in the Canadian healthcare landscape.
