of patient care activities such as evaluations, progress
notes and discharge plans are complete.
At UPHS, you will be given considerable time with
each patient as you provide quality and compassionate
care. This special attention to patients and
their families has brought us worldwide recognition
for our therapeutic expertise. And with our stellar
