This program is designed to encourage our team members to actively participate in the growth of our clinic while benefiting directly from their efforts to expand our patient base.

Health Care Stipend: We are committed to supporting the well-being of our team members. To help offset the cost of healthcare, we offer a $200 per month stipend toward medical coverage for all eligible employees. This stipend is designed to provide financial assistance and ensure that our staff has access to the healthcare they need, empowering them to focus on what they do best—providing exceptional care to our patients.

Professional Development Stipend: We are deeply committed to your growth as a professional. We provide $500 annually toward professional development opportunities, allowing you to expand your expertise in specialized areas of physical therapy.
