Pulmonology Nurse Practitioner Needed!!

KOPA, Inc. is looking for a Nurse Practitioner to diagnose and treat health conditions, as well as promote good health practices. This position will be at Avante at Lake Worth.

As an advanced practice registered nurse, you’ll be our go-to person for ensuring the best patient care possible.
