Employees in Titusville (Pa.) Area Hospital's outpatient physical therapy office will relocate as part of the hospital's partnership with Oil Valley Physical Therapy, reports The Titusville Herald.
Under the partnership, the hospital will close its outpatient physical therapy office and relocate employees in that office to OVPT, also in Titusville. The partnership, slated to take effect in September, also affects patients receiving care in the hospital's outpatient physical therapy office, according to the report. Those patients will move to OVPT.
Additionally, the partnership will involve transitioning prospective employees of physical therapy clinic, as well as OVPT changing its name to Titusville Area Hospital Physical Therapy, Holli Wolfe, the hospital's director of marketing and foundation, said in the report.
She added that the partnership "will bring more to the community" and provides additional space at the hospital for inpatient care.
Mark Mottillo, owner of OVPT, told The Titusville Herald his clinic currently has 12 to 13 employees, but was unsure how many hospital employees will be added with the transition.
