Program Director $80,000-$95,000 annual salary range based on experience
The
Program Director is a growth focused leader responsible for building and expanding Pediatric Partners, a part of the Sevita Health family, in-home therapy services across the Twin Cities. This role will develop referral pipelines, build external partnerships, convert referrals into active caseloads, and recruit and scale multidisciplinary therapy teams.
