Serving Western Washington since 1999, PINN is a leader in returning injured workers back to work, back to life. PINN clinics work exclusively with industrial rehabilitation patients. Just as orthopedists specialize in broken bones, we tailor rehab plans to the unique physical demands of each worker’s job. PINN’s functional approach to treatment means patients return to their work healthy, strong, and prepared to meet the demands of their jobs.
Due to continuous growth in our clinics, PINN is looking to add a driven and talented OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST to join our team in TACOMA WASHINGTON. We have been recognized as one of Washington’s 100 Best Work Places and look forward to influencing our communities further through our new teammates.
Our mission is to inspire and empower the lives we touch, to serve our communities and to lead with purpose-driven passion as the premier industrial rehabilitation employer.
