Catholic Health Initiatives Occupational Therapist in Little Rock, Arkansas

Overview

As an Occupational Therapist at CHI St. Vincent, now part of CommonSpirit Health formed between Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) and Dignity Health, you’ll help our patients regain their independence and quality of life so they can safely go about their daily activities.

You’ll work alongside physicians, physical therapists, speech therapists, and other health professionals to assess patients, develop a plan of care, and carry out their treatment plan. You’ll see a variety of patients daily with issues in several areas, including orthopedic, neurological, sensory, and cancer recovery, to name a few.

It can be a long road for some patients, and a therapist who remains upbeat and energetic can make all the difference.
