Job description

Where Care Meets Community, and Providers Come First

At Peregrine Health, we believe great care starts with empowered providers. That’s why we’ve built a unique model where clinicians are more than just staff, they’re part of a supportive, collaborative community dedicated to transforming behavioral health care.

If you’re ready to focus on what you do best, delivering exceptional care, while we handle the operational complexities, Peregrine is the place for you.

You’re more than a provider—you’re part of the team.

When you join Peregrine, you join a network of dedicated clinicians committed to delivering high-quality behavioral health care to communities in need.

Experience the freedom to work from anywhere. Whether you’re looking for full-time or part-time employment, Peregrine has options for you!

Gain access to our vibrant network of NPs, MDs, and LCSWs. Participate in monthly case reviews, reflective consultation sessions, and opportunities to share knowledge and grow together.

Support That Allows You Focus on Care

We take care of the administrative and operational details, from scheduling and credentialing to patient coordination, so you can dedicate your time and energy to your patients.

Peregrine leverages our proprietary technology to enhance care delivery and streamline operations.

As a provider, you’ll have access to tools that make your work easier and more efficient:

1. Seamlessly connect with patients in-person or virtually.
2. Leverage analytics to inform care and track outcomes.
3. Focus on care while our team handles compliance, scheduling, and patient management.

Why We're Different

When you join Peregrine, you’re part of our provider team—not a temporary placement.

Our close-knit corporate team is based in Nashville and exists to help you thrive in your role.

Make a meaningful impact by providing care where it’s needed most, at FQHCs and RHCs across the country.
