Skilled nursing
Reliable physician coverage for physiatry, delivered on site so residents stay in place and care keeps moving.
Physiatry at the bedside
Rehabilitation medicine that meets patients where they recover.
Myrtle Health is a specialized physiatry group delivering high-quality, on-site care to patients in skilled nursing facilities.
Who we are
A physician-led group, embedded in the facility.
We partner closely with therapy and nursing staff to improve function, reduce pain, and support meaningful recovery for every patient we see.
Care is delivered directly at the bedside, on the facility's schedule, so patients don't have to leave and staff stay in the loop. Our physician-led model, backed by advanced practice support, keeps rehabilitation medicine timely, consistent, and focused on outcomes.

Physiatry touches the whole care team. We're built to make each person's job easier and each patient's recovery steadier.

Our physician team evaluates patients on site and identifies what's limiting function and recovery.

04
Ongoing follow-through
Consistent revisits keep momentum, adjust the plan as patients change, and keep the whole team informed.
Our approach
Built around what recovery actually requires.
Physiatry works best when it's woven into daily care, not bolted on. We stay close to the people already at the bedside and measure success by what patients get back.
Improve function
Restoring the movement and independence that let patients participate in their own recovery.
Reduce pain
Thoughtful, physician-led pain management so therapy can progress and comfort improves.
Support recovery
Partnering with therapy and nursing to support meaningful, lasting recovery for each patient.

Where do you provide care?
On site, at the bedside, inside the skilled nursing facilities we partner with. Care comes to the patient rather than the other way around.

A physician-led team backed by advanced practice support, so patients get physician oversight with the consistency of regular, timely visits.
How do you work with our therapy and nursing teams?
Closely. We coordinate goals with therapy, keep nursing informed, and fit our communication into the routines your staff already follow.
