Create Moments That Matter - For Seniors
The Willow Park Health Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Fellowship Program is a structured, paid training program designed to support newly graduated and early-career Primary Care Nurse Practitioners as they transition into confident, independent practice—while delivering onsite primary care to older adults in assisted living and senior living communities.
This program was intentionally built to replace the traditional “sink-or-swim” model with mentorship, supervision, and sustainable clinical growth
Why This Fellowship Exists
Primary care for older adults is deeply rewarding—but clinically complex.
New NPs often face:
-
High patient complexity without adequate support
-
Productivity pressure before clinical confidence develops
-
Limited exposure to geriatric-specific care models
-
Professional isolation early in practice
At Willow Park Health, we believe new clinicians deserve:
-
Time to learn
-
Space to ask questions
-
Strong clinical mentorship
-
A realistic path to independence
This fellowship provides exactly that.
