About the Role
As a physical therapist, no two days or patients are alike. You will champion multiple patients as they begin their rehabilitation journey, whether facing neurological issues or physical trauma. Your role involves encouraging, comforting, and preparing patients for therapy while interacting with physicians, case managers, nurses, and families as part of a collaborative team care approach. You will celebrate the ordinary, recognizing that in the world of rehabilitation, simple milestones like taking a few steps can be extraordinary achievements for your patients.
While you focus on your patient's "extraordinary" progress, the organization focuses on providing you with the tangible and intangible resources needed to amplify your impact and grow your expertise. Your unique experiences, knowledge, skills, empathy, compassion, and personality are valued, and the team is eager to learn what you will bring to this critical rehabilitation role.
