We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Overview? The overview is prose. The posting includes sections: Overview (intro), What would you do in this role? (maybe responsibilities), Responsibilities (list), Licenses/Designations/Certifications (maybe qualifications), Qualifications (list), Education/Experience/Skill Requirements (list). Also benefits: "We Are Proud Of Our Competitive Benefits Offering Medical, dental, vision, life insurance 401K with employer match PTO and Sick Time EAP program that includes employee and family counseling; financial assistance; life event preparation and more!" Also earlier: "2023 benefits include medical premiums decreased by 5%, HSA funding doubled and 401K employer match increased!" So benefits content exists. Pay and schedule not mentioned, so omit those sections.
We need headings: for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use appropriate headings based on content. We have Overview (maybe "About the role" or "Overview"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use appropriate headings based on content. We have Overview (maybe "About the role" or "Overview"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely we should use those exact headings when applicable. For overview we could use "About the role". For responsibilities we use "Responsibilities". For qualifications we could use "Qualifications". For education/experience/skill maybe "Requirements" or "Skills". Benefits we use "Benefits". Also there is Licenses/Designations/Certifications maybe part of Qualifications. We'll combine.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must preserve all substantive information. Remove boilerplate: EEO etc. At end there is equal employment opportunity statement; remove.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content:

Just minutes from downtown Omaha, Council Bluffs blends small-town charm with city convenience—offering affordable living, great schools, and a strong sense of community—making it an ideal location for this important new facility. Scheduled to open in June 2026, Methodist Jennie Edmundson Behavioral Health Hospital will offer a full continuum of inpatient and outpatient care for adults, seniors, and youth, including programs for mood disorders, dual diagnosis, geriatric psychiatry, child & adolescent care, PHP/IOP, and ECT.

Then Responsibilities list: bullet points under "ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:" and "Other Functions". We'll combine.
Responsibilities items:
- Apply psychotherapeutic techniques and interventions in the delivery of services to individuals and families for the purpose of treating such diagnosed emotional and behavioral health disorders.
- Conduct psychosocial assessment and develop an initial discharge plan.
- Conduct individual, group or family sessions as appropriate for the treatment plan of the patient.
- Provide initial treatment planning for patient based on assessment and coordinate any additional services needed and revise as necessary.
- Maintain documentation of therapy services provided to each patient, according to facility and professional standards and revise as needed.
- Maintain a caseload as assigned.
- Participate in treatment team meetings and collaborate with other staff to facilitate services for the patient as appropriate to their treatment plan.
- May provide these services in an inpatient or outpatient setting.
- Provide case management, discharge planning or after-care planning according to treatment plan.
- May assist in educating and training staff on behavior management or therapeutic crisis intervention.

- Other Functions: Perform other functions and tasks as assigned.
Licenses/Designations/Certifications:
- State or national licensure for professional therapy providers required.
- CPR and de-escalation/restraint certification required (training available upon hire and offered by facility).
- First aid may be required based on state or facility.
Qualifications (maybe Education/Experience/Skill Requirements):
- Master's degree in Psychology, Social Work, Counseling or other recognized therapeutic field required.

Also note: "While this job description is intended to be an accurate reflection of the requirements of the job, management reserves the right to add or remove duties from particular jobs when circumstances (e.g. emergencies, changes in workload, rush jobs or technological developments) dictate." This is boilerplate? Might be considered generic; but it's substantive? It's a disclaimer about job description flexibility. Might be considered boilerplate but not EEO. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This statement is not exactly EEO; it's about job description flexibility. Might be considered legal boilerplate? It's a management rights clause. Could be considered legal. Safer to remove? The instruction says remove legal boilerplate. This is a legal disclaimer. I'd remove it.
Also the EEO statement at end: remove.
Now Benefits section: we have two benefits paragraphs: "2023 benefits include medical premiums decreased by 5%, HSA funding doubled and 401K employer match increased!" and "We Are Proud Of Our Competitive Benefits Offering Medical, dental, vision, life insurance 401K with employer match PTO and Sick Time EAP program that includes employee and family counseling; financial assistance; life event preparation and more!" Combine into a list.
We'll output:

or list. Using list is okay as long as we preserve all details. We need to ensure we didn't lose any detail like "2023 benefits include". We can include that as part of list items. We should not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the exact phrases. For benefits we could keep two
paragraphs. But the instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Benefits is a list, so we should use
- . That's fine. We need to ensure we don't omit any benefit details: medical, dental, vision, life insurance; 401K with employer match; PTO and Sick Time; EAP program that includes employee and family counseling; financial assistance; life event preparation and more. Also the 2023 benefits specifics: medical premiums decreased by 5%, HSA funding doubled, 401K employer match increased. We'll include those as separate list items. Now check responsibilities: we must include all items. Ensure we include "May provide these services in an inpatient or outpatient setting." etc. Also "Other Functions Perform other functions and tasks as assigned." as a list item. Now check for any duplicated lines: none. Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO statement. We removed. Now output HTML fragment. Let's craft overview paragraph: combine the overview sentences into a coherent paragraph. We'll keep all info.
