PIEDMONT ARTHRITIS

The clinic treats conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, gout, vasculitis, osteoporosis, and connective tissue diseases. As a specialty outpatient practice, it employs nurse practitioners who work collaboratively with rheumatologists to deliver evidence-based, patient-centered care for patients with chronic rheumatologic conditions. Nursing professionals at Piedmont Arthritis Clinic function in an advanced practice role, performing comprehensive histories and physical examinations, developing and implementing individualized treatment plans, and managing disease-modifying therapies and biologic agents. The practice environment is that of a focused specialty clinic rather than a hospital setting, offering nurses the opportunity to develop deep expertise in rheumatology. This employer should not be confused with Piedmont Healthcare, a separate larger health system based in Georgia, which appeared in some search results and is a distinct organization.

The job description emphasizes evidence-based, patient-centered care and collaborative practice with rheumatologists as core operating principles. Mission and values information from Piedmont Healthcare (Georgia) and Piedmont Orthopedics/OrthoAtlanta found in search results pertain to separate organizations and should not be attributed to Piedmont Arthritis Clinic.
