Physical Therapist (PT) - Health and

Responsible for providing safe and effective Physical Therapy services by implementing appropriate evaluation, treatment, and education designed to meet the identified needs and functional goals of the patient. The Rehabilitation teams at Samaritan evaluate and treat patients with injuries or conditions that have caused either a decline in self-care, physical mobility or functional independence. We are a collaborative multi-disciplinary team of therapists offering cutting-edge, evidence based practice and compassionate individualized treatment. We provide specialty care from pediatrics to geriatrics, from neurological to women's health, from lymphedema care to wheelchair fitting and more. Our acute services are centered out of Samaritan's Regional Medical system, a 160 bed, level 2 trauma center. Our hub status affords us a complex patient census that is among the state's top 5 in acuity. Our outpatient clinic features cutting edge equipment, a therapy pool with an underwater treadmill and separate adult and pediatric gyms. All outpatient services are one-on-one and feature therapist-driven treatment times.
