Rachel Ellebracht McGraw

Prn Physical Therapist @The University of Kansas Health System

Kansas City, MO, US

As a PRN Acute Care Physical Therapist, I provide as-needed rehabilitation services in the hospital setting, assisting patients with mobility, functional independence, and recovery from acute medical conditions, surgeries, or injuries. My role involves evaluating patients\' physical abilities, developing individualized treatment plans, and implementing therapeutic interventions to improve strength, balance, endurance, and overall mobility. I collaborate closely with an interdisciplinary team, including physicians, nurses, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists, to ensure comprehensive patient care. A key aspect of my work is assessing patients\' discharge needs, whether transitioning to home, inpatient rehabilitation, or skilled nursing facilities. I adapt quickly to different patient populations, medical conditions, and hospital units, including trauma, orthopedics, neurology, and cardiopulmonary units. My ability to think critically and make real-time clinical decisions helps support patient safety and recovery in a fast-paced, dynamic healthcare environment.
