Orthopedic Nurse Practitioner / Physician Assistant

Atria Health Institute is launching a precision orthobiologic program offering regenerative medicine procedures including PRP, Lipogems, A2M/iRAP, and Regenokine.

This is not a support role; the NP will independently perform orthobiologic procedures, conduct musculoskeletal assessments, manage member care plans, and help build the operational and clinical infrastructure of a program being built from the ground up.

Atria is a membership-based primary and specialty health care practice with a focus on prevention and longevity. The flagship Institute opened in New York in 2022, expanded to South Florida in 2024, and will launch in Los Angeles in late spring 2026. All care, including primary care, advanced screening and diagnostics, urgent care, specialty care, 24/7 home visits, and imaging is included in members' annual fee.
