About ThedaCare!
Summary :
Staff Testimonial : I love being a physical therapist at ThedaCare Medical Center – Shawano for many reasons including a team atmosphere, opportunities to grow, treating in both the inpatient and outpatient settings, and working in a rural community. Despite being located in a rural community, ThedaCare – Shawano provides a beautiful and spacious therapy gym equipped with what I need to ensure my patients receive the best care. My favorite thing about ThedaCare – Shawano is having coworkers with a wide range of experience levels and backgrounds. Being a physical therapist with less than 5 years of experience, I love having coworkers with more experience, as they help me to grow professionally, while ensuring that I am supported and valued.
