SKILLED NURSING & OUTPATIENT THERAPY!

As a PTA, you’ll be an integral part of our continuum of care, providing SNF therapy as well as 1-on-1 outpatient therapy to patients from outside the SNF.

Why choose the hybrid SNF/OP role?

This role is ideal for both new grads seeking experience in multiple settings and seasoned therapists looking to treat a variety of diagnoses. In the SNF, you’ll provide 1-on-1, concurrent, and group therapy as appropriate. In outpatient, you’ll provide 1-on-1 sessions for 45–60 minutes in our beautifully updated gym at Woodward Hills.

• Facility Location: 38200 Schoenherr Road, Sterling Heights, MI 48312
