Birnbaum, MD, Quality Leadership Award, Medina Hospital is known for its excellence in delivering safe, patient-centered care that is timely, effective, efficient, and equitable. Medina Hospital has also been recognized for its commitment to creating a positive environment that empowers and engages staff by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Here, you can build a rewarding, lifelong career while receiving endless support and encouragement.

As a Physical Therapist, you will utilize various exercises to increase strength, range of motion, endurance and coordination to relieve pain, avoid injury or regain function.

Establish, revise and evaluate plans of care to problems identified and involve the patient/family according to their capabilities and desires.

Perform physical therapy interventions utilizing standard physical therapy techniques and skills appropriate for the patient's age and condition.
