About The Position

CHI St. Vincent is part of CommonSpirit Health, a regional health network serving Arkansas. Physical Therapists help patients rebuild or maintain physical well-being following illness, injury, or age-related issues. Treatments may help patients reduce pain, build strength and endurance, increase range of motion, and improve balance so they can function at their best level. The team sees several patients each day for initial evaluations, re-evaluations, and treatments, with therapists performing most treatments themselves. Patients may be recovering from orthopedic injuries or surgery, traumatic brain injury, stroke, or conditions affecting balance. The work environment is busy and fast-paced, with collaborative and supportive team members. Therapists collaborate with other therapists, patients, families, physicians, and other team members to achieve the best possible treatment outcomes. The role calls for a personable, positive, motivated team player committed to providing quality care to a wide variety of patients.
