Physical Therapy Tech

Overview

As our Physical Therapy Tech at Dignity Health - Yavapai Regional Medical Center you will help the professional staff of occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech pathology in the delivery of patient care activities to allow patients to resume their normal activities.

The Rehab Services department runs as a team; every person on the team has an important role that directly impacts the patient. Your success in this role comes from your adaptability and enthusiasm to work with a team taking patients from a diseased process to a healing process.

Every day you will prepare patients for treatment and assist in patient treatment while demonstrating respect towards patients, family members and caregivers.
