We are dedicated to improving the quality of life and therapeutic outcomes for patients in skilled nursing and long‑term care facilities. By collaborating closely with the primary care teams in these facilities, we increase patients' ability to participate in physical therapy while reducing the need for pain medications.

We are a physician‑owned group of skilled providers (physicians, PAs, and NPs) offering care across ten states, with plans for expansion to all 50 states.

The ideal candidate will be a strong clinician, mentor, and relationship builder in skilled nursing.

• Coordinating care and referring to other specialties or services for issues beyond the scope of physiatry

• A genuine passion for providing professional, personalized care in an autonomous environment
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams
• Familiarity with EHR charting
• Experience in a clinical leadership or supervisory role
• Willingness to travel regularly within the assigned region

• Competitive salary and bonus structure (starting base of $150,000+/year depending on experience).
• Comprehensive benefits package: medical, dental, vision, life insurance (we cover a $50K policy with the option to add additional coverage), and AD&D insurance.
• 8 paid PTO days, 7 paid sick leave days, and 6 paid federal holidays – 21 total paid days off.
• Paid malpractice insurance ($1M/$3M policy).
