BACKGROUND:
The Health Services Department is requesting to increase the hours of one Physical Therapist II from part time (1/40) to full time . The California Children Services (CCS) Rehabilitation Program is a statewide program that arranges and pays for medical care, equipment, and rehabilitation for eligible children and youth. Our CCS program utilizes contracts for physical therapists to cover medical leaves and increase on prescribed treatment hours or caseload growth. Increasing the hours of a physical therapist position will reduce the costly usage of contracts.
