A Licensed Physical Therapist Lead will join a mission-driven, patient-first culture known for clinical excellence, strong safety practices, and measurable outcomes, supported by positive media momentum and trusted community reputation. This healthcare organization empowers a PT Lead with high-acuity exposure across diverse service lines, access to advanced technologies such as robotics, virtual rehab, and remote monitoring, and innovation-forward leadership that pilots hospital-at-home, telehealth, and value-based care models while prioritizing clinician wellbeing, mental health resources, and burnout reduction strategies.

Within the Rehabilitation service line, the Licensed Physical Therapist Lead will help shape evidence-based programming, optimize care pathways, and elevate outcomes for orthopedics, neuro, cardiopulmonary, post-surgical, and complex medical populations across inpatient and select outpatient touchpoints, all within an expansive hospital system and a 50+ bed count facility that values streamlined workflows, real-time quality dashboards, and continuous improvement grounded in data.

Reporting to a Director of Rehabilitation/Physical Medicine and collaborating closely with a Rehab Therapy Manager, the PT Lead will provide hands-on clinical leadership, manage a balanced caseload, mentor and precept staff, advance competencies, champion quality metrics, and drive operational excellence. Responsibilities include scheduling, throughput, discharge planning, and documentation, with robust support from rehab coordinators, therapy aides, case management, pharmacy, and a friendly nursing team. The Licensed Physical Therapist Lead will thrive amid diverse interdisciplinary partners—OT, SLP, nursing, physicians, and social work—who practice with mutual respect and the autonomy needed to deliver top-tier care.

Northeastern Colorado offers a PT Lead an enviable lifestyle: four-season sunshine, wide-open skies, and effortless access to hiking, biking, fishing, birding, lakes, and reservoirs, with weekend escapes to the Rockies and quick connections along the Front Range.
