Primary responsibilities include prioritizing and managing a daily caseload, ensuring timely evaluation and treatment, and coordinating with the care team to support safe transitions across the continuum of care. You will provide clear, compassionate education to patients and families regarding diagnosis, therapy goals, self‑management strategies, and injury prevention. You will also assist with student or new‑hire orientation when appropriate and adhere to all safety, infection control, and regulatory requirements. Methodist Health System offers a supportive environment where therapists can grow professionally while making a meaningful impact on the communities we serve.
