Nurse Practitioner *Overnight Shift* Children's Specialty Hospital

The Center for Discovery (TCFD) is a leading provider of healthcare and education services for more than 1,200 children and adults with complex conditions, medical frailties and Autism Spectrum Disorders, located 90 miles northwest of New York City. Named a Center of Excellence in 2016, TCFD has long been a leader in developing new models of care for individuals with complex conditions. Located on 1,500 acres of land in Sullivan County, TCFD houses school campuses, residences, medical and research facilities, organic and biodynamic farmland, and leased private businesses offering meaningful employment opportunities. Deeply focused on an individual's personal potential and possibilities, rather than a disability, TCFD strives to create better care and unique and challenging opportunities for the most vulnerable populations.

In 2024, The Center for Discovery will open a world-class Children’s Specialty Hospital to provide short-term, inpatient assessment and treatment – with the goal of better diagnosing underlying problems that affect behavior and learning in individuals with autism and other conditions. Improved understanding of underlying physiological, medical, and mental health challenges will lead to more targeted treatments and interventions, all to enable children and adolescents to remain at home, in school, and integrated in the community.

The Children’s Specialty Hospital will conduct comprehensive medical, behavioral, and clinical assessments over a maximum of six months. Staff will engage parents, caregivers, and school district personnel as partners in the process.
