The Tubman Center for Health & Freedom is looking for an experienced Advanced Practice Provider (ARNP, PA, MD, DO, ND) to join our team. We’re searching for a “system defector” that understands the ins and outs of how existing healthcare systems perpetuate harms and is looking to invest their talents in building an alternative model of care -- one that centers on the patient and not the systems.

The Tubman Center for Health & Freedom addresses health and wellness from both systemic and clinical approaches. By practicing medicine from the intersection of health and freedom, we address both the health of our patients as well as the factors that determine their health. Tubman Health provides primary and preventative care, community resources, social services, political education and advocacy. Tubman Health is a community organization committed to the principles of healing and people’s liberation from systems that make us unwell. We work to advance health justice, culturally appropriate care, and integrative medicine.

We are laying the groundwork for an innovative community health clinic that specializes in meeting the needs of marginalized communities in Seattle’s Puget Sound region. This position is fundamental to the success of our pilot site, the Freedom Clinic.

The ideal candidate is passionate about adolescent care, wants to provide healthcare in new ways, and is excited about designing, piloting and modelling new models of care for an innovative health care center opening in 2025. Tubman Health is looking for a qualified APP that is keen to

practice care delivery at the intersection of health and freedom. This provider will address both the health of our patients and the factors that determine their health through the provision of primary, preventive, integrative care and wellness services.
