temporary licensed medical personnel to assist Merrithew Memorial
Hospital and Clinics during peak loads, temporary absences and
emergency situations.
There continues to be a nationwide therapist shortage, and in spite of
recruiting efforts, the Department continues to experience difficulty
in filling vacant therapy positions. Therefore, the Department and
has had to rely heavily on the registry therapists, when they are
available, to maintain an appropriate level of physical and
occupational therapy services for patients of Merrithew Memorial
Hospital and Clinics.
Approval of Standard Contract #26-261 will allow the Contractor to
provide physical and occupational therapy services through April 30,
