patients across care settings. Join us to start Caring. Connecting.
Growing together.

leading the way in healthcare! Patient Connect is one-time
comprehensive visit designed for patients who have recently been
hospitalized and are in a skilled rehab facility. -The purpose of
this visit is to ensure a smooth transition from rehab to home and
to prevent readmission. During this visit you will capture STAR
measures, educate the patient, and document all their acute and
chronic diagnoses. -This position provides the NP multiple
opportunities each day to use their experience and education in
varying settings to provide guidance and compassion to a vulnerable
population during a difficult transition in their healthcare. -
