Comanche County Memorial Hospital - Lawton, OK
Mid Level
Embark on a dynamic Travel Occupational Therapist journey in Lawton, Oklahoma, with a start date of 03/03/2026 for a multi-week assignment designed to elevate your clinical leadership and therapeutic craft. In this specialized role, you’ll assess, treat, and empower patients across settings—acute care, outpatient clinics, and community-based programs—crafting individualized therapy plans that restore independence in daily activities, work, and leisure. You’ll collaborate with physicians, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and social workers to coordinate holistic care that improves mobility, cognitive function, and functional performance. As you practice, you’ll also have the chance to explore the beauty of Oklahoma—from the rugged beauty of the Wichita Mountains and the tranquil shores of Lake Lawtonka to the cultural vibrancy of Lawton–Fort Sill—where weekend hikes, picnics, and cultural events offer refreshing perspectives that enrich your professional approach.

Location Benefits:
Lawton presents a welcoming community, affordable housing, and convenient access to Fort Sill, with abundant outdoor recreation and dining, arts, and family-friendly activities. For therapists who crave variety, this program also offers opportunities to work in multiple locations across the United States, expanding your clinical repertoire, cross-cultural experience, and professional network while maintaining roots in a supportive local community. You’ll enjoy a balanced blend of hands-on clinical work and opportunities to explore diverse practice environments, from stable clinic floors to dynamic field settings, all within a region known for its rich history, close-knit healthcare networks, and a cost-friendly lifestyle that helps you focus on what you do best—delivering exceptional patient care.

Role Specifics and Benefits:
Core responsibilities include comprehensive OT evaluations, goal-directed treatment planning, and targeted interventions to improve self-care, mobility, dexterity, cognition, and daily function. You’ll implement evidence-based strategies, monitor progress, adjust plans as needed, and contribute to discharge planning and community reintegration. Documentation in electronic medical records, clear communication with families and care teams, and timely follow-up are essential components of success. You’ll lead client and family education, ensuring strategies transition smoothly to home, school, or workplace environments. The role offers substantial professional growth through exposure to a broad spectrum of patient populations and settings, with opportunities to deepen expertise in pediatrics, geriatrics, hand therapy, neurorehabilitation, or community-based programs, along with access to mentorship and continuing education resources. Competitive benefits are highlighted by a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities, with weekly pay ranging from $1,668 to $1,793. A robust support framework accompanies you on every assignment, including 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, on-demand clinical consults, credentialing help, and travel logistics support to keep you focused on patient care and professional excellence.

Company Values:
We are dedicated to empowering our staff through clear career pathways, ongoing mentorship, and a supportive, collaborative work environment. Our culture prioritizes patient-centered outcomes, professional integrity, and a respectful atmosphere where therapists can innovate, lead, and grow. You’ll find a community that values your input, recognizes your achievements, and invests in your long-term development, helping you transform clinical expertise into leadership and advocacy for the rehabilitation field.
