NYC Health + Hospitals/Correctional Health Services (CHS) is launching innovative Outposted Therapeutic Housing Units (OTxHU) within acute care facilities to provide high-quality care for incarcerated patients with complex health needs.

We’re seeking dedicated healthcare professionals for these units, starting with the OTxHU at Bellevue (planned opening end of 2024).

Position: Physical Therapist

Overview: Under the Assistant Chief of Medicine, you’ll plan and direct comprehensive physical therapy services for OTxHU patients, ensuring goal-oriented and coordinated care. Responsibilities include direct patient care, staff supervision, accurate documentation, quality assurance, equipment monitoring, multidisciplinary collaboration, staff training, policy development, performance evaluation, quality assessment, and report generation.

Qualifications:
