Registered Nurse

Nursing opportunities with a mission-driven purpose in the Pacific Northwest.
At Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic, we believe you are more than a nurse, and we are more than a job. We're an FQHC committed to providing patient-centered care to communities. Compassion is at the core of our approach. We treat patients according to their preferences, regardless of location, origin, or Ability to pay. Our doors are open to all, regardless of their citizenship status.
As the city of Salem proudly notes, agriculture and related industries are essential to the vitality of the Mid-Willamette Valley. This contributes to the spirit of the Salem area. Food processing represents more than half of our region's manufacturing base. Whether growing, storing, or packaging food, building equipment to harvest or process crops, or managing the harvest, the Mid-Willamette Valley specializes in agriculture and food processing. The abundance of agriculture contributes to the livelihood of our migrant farmworkers, warehouse workers, transportation industry, food industry, sustainability in farm-to-table programs, and more. Healthy communities are needed to produce these services. In addition, Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic is dedicated to ensuring we are available to keep our communities healthy, educated, and informed of our services.
