PRN Physical Therapist - Outpatient

Cleveland Clinic • Uniontown, OH • 4h ago

Join Cleveland Clinic Akron General's Green Health and Wellness Center and become part of a top healthcare system in Akron. This patient-friendly facility offers a variety of primary care, emergency care and specialty services along with Lifestyles, a medically based fitness program and facility.

As a Physical Therapist, you will utilize various treatments to help patients increase strength, range of motion, endurance and coordination. Because this position requires close physical interaction, you have the unique opportunity to develop strong patient relationships.

This individual demonstrates strong critical thinking skills in evaluating and developing treatment plans while effectively collaborating with physicians, co-workers and support staff.
