We understand how vital it is for people to heal, thrive and be the best version of themselves.LEARN MORE HERE: are a local, family-owned, small business. We are not affiliated with any big hospitals, national chains, healthcare networks or systems, groups or companies. Sometimes big companies can offer "big" perks. So why work for a small business as a PT?Here are 10 reasons why:CLINICIAN AUTONOMY! We are not focused on patient volume. We do not prioritize numbers over quality. There are NO productivity quotas or numbers for you to meet. There are no billing metrics you must follow. We never use cookie-cutter treatment protocols. Forget all of that! You treat your patients. Spend time with them. Help them however you see fit. Exercise your clinical judgment. Performance at HDPT is judged on you consistently making patients happy and healthy. That's it!Enjoy greater flexibility. Small companies are less tied to policy and precedent than big conglomerates, so we can be more flexible with all aspects of work, and in general.Everyone is closer to the mission. It's easier to get a real sense of what our small business does and how each employee impacts the work. There's less corporate jargon blurring what people actually do.You'll work more closely with senior leaders and managers. Instead of seeing your boss's boss once a year, you'll work right along side them. Our co-founders still treat everyday. A smaller staff size affords managers and employees the chance to bond more easily and learn from each other.You'll experience a lot of camaraderie. Teamwork is a big part of small businesses; it's essential. If you like getting to know the people you work with, you're in luck"”you'll spend time working directly with them. Small healthcare organizations are in a unique position to create an environment where employees become a true team.You can move quickly on your ideas. If you have a proposal for equipment, tools, techniques, courses or classes, you can try it out quickly without a lot of red tape. You can experiment. We cultivate clinical reasoning. You'll have plenty of chances to test new ideas"”and you'll be encouraged to do so.Your business owners will make decisions with you in mind, and not only the bottom line. Small, privately owned businesses have much more freedom to take creative risks, let strategies play out and listen closely to its staff.You'll feel a sense of ownership.
