Description

Physical Therapist

Full-time (40 hours/week), weekday shifts.

Sakakawea Medical Center's rehabilitation programs focus on restoring function and improving quality of life through care and skillful, personalized applications of therapy services for all ages. Our therapists take pride in helping people. We take the time to get to know our patients, listen to their concerns, answer any questions, and help each patient make informed decisions that are right for them.

With advanced hands-on therapy techniques, programs, and equipment, our therapists promote the health, independence, and quality of life of patients. Our therapists provide high-quality, comprehensive care to outpatients and inpatients alike; however, the majority of services are provided on an outpatient basis.

Therapists are responsible for providing evaluation, treatment, and home instructions for patients and family members involved in the patient's treatment. Therapy typically includes a combination of manual, hands-on treatment and exercises specifically designed for the patient's injury, illness, or condition.

Sakakawea Medical Center is supportive of helping our therapists advance their skills, training, certifications, knowledge, and areas of specialty through training opportunities.
