Physical Therapist - Per-Diem
Cooley Dickinson Hospital (CDH)

About Us:

With energy and purpose, Cooley Dickinson Health Care, a member of the Mass General Brigham system, is advancing health care in western Massachusetts, and has been since 1886. Our network employs more than 2,000 medical professionals and support staff, at our main Hospital campus in Northampton and additional locations in twelve towns throughout the Pioneer Valley. Cooley Dickinson's VNA & Hospice is also a vital part of our network, providing home-based services throughout Hampshire and Franklin counties.

Hear From Our Current PT Staff:

• Cooley Dickinson seems to have juggled the delicate balance of meeting the patient needs and impressing upon us the importance of a busy efficient schedule without an overbearing pressure or unrealistic quotas.
• I would also say that working in a hospital-based outpatient setting allows therapists to gain experience with a wide variety of patient diagnoses and we support each clinician with the ability to have 45 min. of one/one patient care time throughout the day.
• What I like most about working here is that I can focus on providing quality care. I can treat the patient the way I want to.
• Management listens, cares, and shows up but never micromanages.
• Our facilities are clean, efficient, and well equipped.
