About the Role
Our ideal candidate has the heart of a servant leader and a passion for patient-centered care.

Patient education is the number one priority. You'll have dedicated therapy gyms right on the neuro and ortho floors, and a 12-week stepped orientation that ramps you from general med/surg up to higher-acuity units.

  • Bachelor's, Master's, or Doctorate of Physical Therapy from an accredited program
  • Passion for patient-centered care and neuro/stroke populations
  • Collaborative, interdisciplinary communicator
