Job Description:
Join our team as a physical therapist at the RHB Center at St. Catherines in East Chicago, Indiana, and experience a unique Midwest adventure. This 13-week travel assignment offers you the chance to work in an inpatient rehab unit, focusing on neuro and orthopaedic cases with adult patients.
