The Community Health Centers of Benton and Linn Counties are in search of a Registered Nurse Care Coordinator to join the team! Our nurses work in a patient-centered environment with professionals who have a passion for preventive, team-based care.
Registered Nurses work in clinical, community, and home settings to provide a broad range of nursing services aimed at disease prevention, treatment, and health policy implementation. They apply critical thinking and nursing process skills to screen, assess, plan, deliver and evaluate health interventions for individuals and populations. This position will include triage to assess clients' health status for immediate care, clinical appointment, education for care at home, or referrals to resources. Demonstrate knowledge-based care to assigned clients and programs in accordance with standards of practice, nursing practice act, Oregon Administrative Rules, County and department policies and procedures. May provide specialized services within specified programs and at multiple sites according to scope, license, and program standards.
We asked our Nurses what they appreciate about working at our Health Centers:
"Highlights for me include the ability to advocate for the patients who are often forgotten in the healthcare system. Making a difference in the community that I live in. Working within a care team but also having the larger RN group to support as needed. Job variability – every day is different. Self-directed – you can tailor the job to your strengths and to the care team’s needs. Schedule flexibility for good work/life balance."

Voters elect three County Commissioners and a Sheriff to four-year terms. The District Attorney is also elected to a four-year term and is a state official. The County Commissioners are assisted in their administrative responsibilities by the County Administrator, who is responsible for implementing County policy, managing operations, budget, and supervising Department Directors. With a ’23-’25 adopted budget of approximately $485.9 million and 604 employees, Benton County provides a breadth of services through its departments of Assessment, Board of Commissioners, Community Development, District Attorney, Fairgrounds, Records and Elections, Financial Services, Health Centers, Health Department, Human Resources, Information Technology, Juvenile, Natural Areas and Parks, Public Works, and the Sheriff’s Office.
In addition to Oregon State University and local entrepreneurship, Benton County’s economy is driven by the tech and health industries and regional agriculture. Traditionally, county Ag has focused on grass seed, Christmas trees, wine grapes, seed crops, organic produce, lumber, sheep, cattle and dairy, but recent years have seen large upswing in hazelnuts and marijuana. The community’s passion for supporting a thriving local economy allow the county to boast chefs, restaurateurs, winemakers, brewmasters and distilleries committed to locally grown ingredients with a strong focus on sustainability.
