Your job is more than a job. Working with people to regain their independence is gratifying, but it's not for everyone. But you're not everyone. As a Rehabilitation Tech, take pride in being an instrumental part of a therapy team as you watch your patients progress from injury or adapt to a disability. Under the supervision of physicians and licensed rehabilitation therapists, you get to know patients when they are most vulnerable and champion them physically and mentally through their recovery process. Seeing every situation through your patient's eyes, you collaborate with your colleagues and caregivers. You love taking the rehabilitation journey with every patient celebrating the small stuff. You give a little extra. That's what we love about you. This position will be cross trained for both outpatient and acute rehab departments.
