What types of patients will you care
for? Speech-Language Pathologists work
with patients to assess and treat vocal and language impairment, which includes
understanding spoken words, producing fluent speech, and choosing the correct
words when speaking. A speech therapist can also help patients who have
problems swallowing, communicating and patients with cognitive impairments. 80%
of our patients are discharged directly home.

We use evidence-based practice guidelines to treat our patients.
• We utilize
our clinical outcomes to asses and improve our treatment interventions and
programs. We participate in a national outcomes database, which provides
benchmarks and sophisticated outcome reports to help us continually analyze and
improve our patient outcomes.

Helping you become a better nurse is
critical to our success - You will be
paired with mentors; attend in-house as well as external educational
programs. The treatment team is made up of full time therapists, nurses, social
workers, pharmacists and medical staff; a great way to learn beyond your own
discipline.
