Faith Regional Health Services is a community-based health care system located in Norfolk, Nebraska. Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy are essential to the robust healthcare team. The Rehab Therapies Department is growing as more medical specialists are joining Faith Regional Physician Services each year. Faith Regional Health Services continues to support the growth with state of the art facilities and continuing education. Rehab Therapies moved into our new 20,000 square foot outpatient therapy clinic in 2023, located on the same campus as the hospital and Faith Regional Physician Services providers. It includes a sports performance area with 40 yards of turf and rubber flooring, a net enclosure and sport specific nets for safe indoor ball activities, an outdoor basketball court, an indoor inground SwimEx pool with four separate locker rooms for patients and staff, a large therapeutic exercise room, 14 private exam rooms, a Solo-Step® overhead track and harness system designed to protect patients from falling during the rehabilitation process while giving them the confidence they need to break through their barriers in a safe environment. Large screen TVs throughout and overhead speakers for a completely motivating environment.
We are currently seeking to hire a full-time physical therapist for our new outpatient clinic who is passionate about sports performance and a variety of outpatient diagnoses.
