Your job is more than a job.

When it comes to speech and language barriers, you’re a bridge fostering communication and enabling individuals to express their emotions, thoughts, and needs.  As a Speech Therapist, you’re a valued member of our rehabilitation team planning, organizing and coordinating therapy and care for all types of communication and swallowing disorders and difficulties. You plan, organize and coordinate speech therapy goals in consultation with other disciplines/professionals to help your patients regain as much independence as possible.  

  

You know that your value can't be measured solely in terms of improved speech or language skills. But, while you focus on improving pronunciation or correcting speech impediments, in your book of speech pathology etiquette “who dat sayin’ dey gonna beat dem Saints’ is the perfect universal language in the Big Easy. It’s not about achieving perfection, but rather connection. We like the way you think.  

  

Your experiences, knowledge, skills, empathy, compassion, and your “little something extra” all add up to you. And we’re excited to get to know you and find out what you’ll bring to this specialized speech therapy role.   
 

Your Everyday
