You.
You bring your body, mind, heart and spirit to your work as a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) in Home Health.
You know youâ™re a guest in someoneâ™s home and you tread carefully but confidently.
You know how to make small talk and answer big questions. You know how to soothe. How to hug. How to travel, and laugh, easily.
Youâ™re great at what you do, but you want to be part of something even greater. Because you believe that while individuals can be strong, the right team is invincible.
Us.
