A Place Where Your Clinical Voice Matters

At Florence Presbyterian Community, therapy is not an add-on to the system — it is a core driver of outcomes. As part of Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina (PCSC), you join a mission-driven, in-house therapy team that is growing intentionally to meet the needs of one of the strongest short-term rehab and outpatient populations in the region.

Florence has long-standing partnerships with area hospitals, making it a trusted destination for medically complex short-term rehab patients. At the same time, the campus serves a small and charming residential and outpatient population, giving therapists the rare opportunity to treat across the continuum of care without ever leaving the community.

Here, your work has both immediate impact and long-term meaning.

Shared Decision-Making Is How We Practice

One of the defining features of Florence is its culture of shared leadership and collaboration — not only within the therapy department, but across the entire interdisciplinary team.

OTs are active participants in:

• Care planning
• Transitions and discharges
• Goal setting
• Problem-solving with nursing, case management, and physicians

This is not a top-down model. It is a team-driven, patient-centered system where therapists are respected for their expertise.

Why Therapists Choose Our In-House Model

At PCSC, therapy is not outsourced — it is built, led, and protected inside the organization.

Clinical Autonomy You Can Trust

Your professional judgment — not corporate productivity formulas — guides how care is delivered.

True Interdisciplinary Collaboration

OTs have a real voice in clinical decisions, scheduling, and care coordination.

Stability You Can Build a Career On

PCSC’s nonprofit, in-house model has produced low turnover, financial stability, and consistently strong quality outcomes across its communities.

What Makes Florence Unique

Florence offers a rare blend of high-level clinical work and healthy work-life balance.

High-Performing Short-Term Rehab Program

OTs treat medically complex patients with true one-on-one care and full IDT support.

Residential & Outpatient Therapy on the Same Campus

You can treat short-term rehab residents and long-term community members in the same day — creating continuity, relationships, and professional variety.

A Supportive, Balanced Team

Florence blends seasoned clinicians, newer therapists, and skilled assistants into a team that truly supports one another.

Stable Hours with Real Flexibility

Therapists have predictable schedules — and a culture of mutual coverage. When someone needs flexibility, the team steps up. This is how work-life balance is protected, not promised.

Leadership That Is Steady, Fair, and Invested in You

Your Director of Rehab leads with:

• Empathy: understanding people, not just performance
• Responsibility: strong follow-through and ownership
• Harmony: calm, fair, respectful leadership
• Developer: growing students, assistants, and therapists
• Consistency: clear expectations and reliable systems

Therapists describe this leadership style as supportive, fair, and deeply invested in helping people succeed.
