About The Position

First Impression. Lifelong Impact. "As a liaison, I am a steward of QLI’s program," says Trisha Funk, a Clinical Admissions Liaison at QLI. "I offer a lifeline to patients and families when they need it most. My job also allows me to flex my clinical skills and collaborate with incredibly talented and compassionate teams. It’s rewarding and gratifying in many ways" Navigating brain and spinal cord injury recovery after hospitalization is a daunting and complicated ordeal.
