Nurse Practitioner / Physician Assistant — Wound Care Specialist Innovative Wound Solutions | Inland Empire (Riverside / San Bernardino Counties)

Innovative Wound Solutions is a specialized medical group dedicated to delivering expert, patient-centered wound care to the post-acute population — a community that is often underserved and overlooked. We go where the patients are, providing advanced wound care services directly within skilled nursing facilities and in patients' homes across the Inland Empire (Riverside / San Bernardino Counties) regions.

We are a team of clinicians who take their work seriously and support each other genuinely. If you want to specialize in a high-impact, clinically rewarding field and build real expertise over time, this is the place to do it.

Wound care is one of the most clinically engaging specialties in post-acute medicine. Every patient presents differently, every wound tells a story, and the progress you drive is visible and measurable. As an NP or PA with Innovative Wound Solutions, you will manage your own panel of wound care patients across assigned in private home settings, working with autonomy while staying connected to a collaborative, physician-supported team.

No two days look the same. You will move between home environments, bringing specialized wound care directly to patients who would otherwise go without it. This role is ideal for a provider who wants to develop or deepen a specialty focus, work a structured schedule, and make a tangible difference in patients who genuinely need an advocate.

• Wound Assessment and Treatment — Perform comprehensive wound assessments including tissue viability, wound dimensions, infection status, and associated symptoms across both facility and home settings, and implement evidence-based treatment plans tailored to each patient.
• Advanced Procedures — Perform wound debridement, apply advanced dressings, and carry out other wound care procedures within your scope of practice in skilled nursing facilities and in patients' homes.
• Patient and Family Education — Guide patients and families through wound care techniques, prevention strategies, and self-care practices that support healing and reduce recurrence, with particular attention to home care instruction for patients seen in their own environment.
• Collaborative Care — Partner with physicians, nursing staff, physical therapists, home health agencies, and the broader interdisciplinary team to coordinate care and optimize patient outcomes across all care settings.
• Documentation and Quality — Maintain accurate, timely clinical records for both facility and home visits, and actively participate in quality improvement efforts that strengthen the care we deliver.
