We are actively seeking a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) to join a growing behavioral health program supporting residents throughout skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation centers, long\-term care communities, and post\-acute settings across Erie and Niagara County.<\/span>
