Description

• Location: Mountain Home, AR

Are you a compassionate and skilled PA or APRN ready to make a difference in the lives of oncology and hematology patients? Join our growing team and provide quality care while working in a supportive and professional environment!

·        Highlands Oncology began in 1996 with three physicians and a desire to change the face of oncology care in our community.  Now, we have 15 medical oncologists, 30 advanced practice providers, surgical oncology subspecialty, radiation oncology subspecialty, and nearly 1000 employees. Our physicians know that patients do better at home, in the community where they live and work, near their support system. In furthering that goal, Highlands opened a satellite location in Mountain Home in 2023, offering our patients a chance to stay closer to home for their treatment. Our Mountain Home office offers medical oncology and radiation oncology services.
