Select Medical is a nationwide leader in ventilator liberation -- the process of discontinuing mechanical breathing support. Our program is guided by board-certified pulmonologists, pulmonary program directors, respiratory therapists, nursing, pharmacists and nutritionists.
We prioritize the growth and career success of our colleagues by providing development programs and internal promotion opportunities.
That’s why we offer:
Respiratory therapists (RTs) are core to our interdisciplinary team. They work closely with physicians, providing valuable expertise that helps drive successful patient outcomes.
Our RTs also have the opportunity to build relationships with patients and families. They thrive when working with like-minded individuals who are dedicated to providing excellent, compassionate care.
Meet Becky Podolinski, a registered respiratory therapist (RRT) at Select Specialty Hospital (SSH) Laurel Highlands. Becky was initially drawn to working at SSH after hearing about its strong company culture and reputation in caring for complex respiratory patients. Sixteen years later, Becky continues to thrive in SSH Laurel Highlands' team-centered environment.
Through her participation in a clinical advancement program, available to all RRTs and certified respiratory therapists at Select Medical, Becky has both deeped her clinical knowledge and become a mentor to clinical staff. "I have worked at other hospitals and facilities and have never experienced a culture and positive work environment like I have at Select Specialty Hospital Laurel Highlands," she said.
