Who they are

The work centers on helping people recover function—across inpatient rehab hospitals, and at places like the Bartram Lakes campus on 115 acres in Bartram Park, where assisted living, SNF, outpatient, and memory care sit together.

More about Brooks Rehabilitation

On the floor that can mean rehab patients, med passes, tube feeding, and vitals under RN direction. Staff often describe solid teamwork and a real focus on patient care, and mentorship shows up in employee notes. U.S. News has ranked the system among the top 20 nationally for rehabilitation, and Brooks is also planning a 2026 collaboration facility on Mayo Clinic’s Phoenix campus while you would be starting inside the Florida network. Pay is the clear soft spot: many nurses say compensation lags other local systems and raises stay small, even when education offerings exist. If rehab craft and a collaborative unit matter more to you than topping the market rate, this is a concrete place to look.

Empower people to achieve the highest level of recovery and participation in life through excellence in rehabilitation.
