Fort Mitchell is just minutes from downtown Cincinnati, giving you easy access to major-league sports, vibrant arts venues, riverfront parks, live music, museums and a wide variety of restaurants and shops. Nearby recreation includes walking and biking trails, golf courses, local parks and seasonal festivals, making it an appealing location for professionals and families alike.You will provide skilled physical therapy services to patients in their homes across Fort Mitchell and neighboring Northern Kentucky communities.
