About Us
|
Klamath Falls is “Oregon’s City of Sunshine”. Located near the California border on the east side of the Cascade Mountain range, where we enjoy the high-desert life of four seasons and 300 days of sunshine per year. Within an hour’s drive, you have your choice of nearly a dozen lakes and rivers to explore. When our therapists are not treating patients, you may find them hiking, skiing, paddleboarding, camping and enjoying the freedoms this great location has to offer. Klamath Falls is family-friendly, and it offers the benefits of a small town with access to many new and exciting opportunities.
Sky Lakes serves more than 80,000 people in Klamath and Lake counties in south-central Oregon, and Modoc and Siskiyou counties in northern California. As the only hospital in a 10,000-square-mile area we are looking to expand our non-profit hospital-based outpatient rehabilitation clinics serving the Klamath basin and surrounding communities. Through our clinics, we offer exercise-based physical therapy to our patients throughout their entire lifespan. Our therapists have autonomy in how they treat their patients, 45-minute 1-on-1 appointments, and collaboration with a larger team, including subspecialities, inpatient care team, and other disciplines. We do not use rehabilitation aides for patient care; you will guide your patient to their recovery. Sky Lakes is invested in your growth as an individual and a practitioner. If desired, we support specialization.
Our competitive benefits include:
· Pay range for PTs: $39.40 - $57.45/hour
· Flexible option in work schedule
· Realistic productivity that allows for paid documentation, inservices, and skill enhancement
· Medical, Dental and Vision insurance*
· Up to 180 hours of Paid Time Off (PTO) starting within first year of employment, increasing up to 260 hours over 10 years *
· Employer 401k retirement matching up to 6%
· $1,200 Continuing Education allowance and Medbridge subscription annually
· Specialization reimbursement (OSC, SCS, etc.)
· We are open to early commitments (stipend included) for students who have completed a rotation at Sky Lakes within their final year!
