Community-based physical therapy and rehabilitation network
Physical Therapy at St. Luke's operates a regional rehabilitation practice spanning multiple specialties—physical therapy, occupational therapy, neurological and pediatric rehab, speech therapy, and audiology—under the St. Luke's University Health Network umbrella. The organization runs on Epic + Kronos + MyChart, standard healthcare stack, with active projects centered on bundle payment models (BPCI), virtual care expansion, and clinical outcomes. Pain-point clustering (resource utilization, staffing shortages, treatment adherence, readmission risk) reflects the operational tensions typical of mid-market therapy networks scaling across new facilities.
