• Build meaningful relationships with patients and caregivers

What We’re Looking For

• Interest or experience in neurologic rehabilitation (training available)
• Strong clinical reasoning and communication skills
• A clinician who values patient‑centered, high‑quality care

• Expanding specialty programs including a dedicated Parkinson’s Center
• Supported by philanthropic investment to enhance patient care and clinician development
