Our network includes nine hospitals, a statewide health plan, and a growing multi-specialty medical group, serving more than 580,000 members statewide.
About the Role
As a Speech and Language Pathologist, you will evaluate patients and develop comprehensive care plans to implement treatment programs. Your work involves applying a wide variety of therapeutic interventions to rehabilitate speech, language, communication, cognition, hearing, and dysphasia disorders across the lifespan.

This role requires coordinating with various disciplines to ensure a cohesive rehabilitation program that meets the physical, psychosocial, and cognitive well-being of the patient. You will oversee the journey from initial evaluation through discharge goals, ensuring detailed interpretation of data and adherence to the rules and regulations of the specific setting, whether inpatient, outpatient, long-term care, community-based, or home health.
