Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner | Full Time & Virtual

ABOUT EMERGENCE HEALTH:
Emergence Health was founded in mid-2020 by Leah Geoghegan, a forward-thinking functional medicine nurse practitioner who anticipated the rapid rise of telemedicine and growing interest in alternative medicine catalyzed by the pandemic.
