About the Role

As a Physical Therapist at CHI St. Vincent, you will help patients rebuild or maintain their physical wellbeing following illness, injury, or aging. Your mission is to reduce pain, build strength and endurance, increase range of motion, and develop better balance to keep patients functioning at their best level.

You will work in a busy, fast-paced environment where the team sees several patients daily for initial evaluations, re-evaluations, and treatments. While you will perform most treatments yourself, you will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of physicians and therapists to develop and execute personalized treatment plans. This role requires a personable, positive, and motivated approach to provide quality care to a wide variety of patients, from those recovering from orthopedic injuries or surgery to those managing traumatic brain injuries, strokes, or balance conditions.

Thriving in this role means being a dedicated team player. You will constantly collaborate with other therapists, patients, and their families to seek the best possible outcomes. The environment is full of supportive team members willing to offer help, advice, or mentoring at any time, fostering a culture where you can seek new learning opportunities and serve as a resource for others.
