Join to apply for the Educator and Infection Preventionist role at Lifepoint Health®

Providence Swedish Rehabilitation Hospital is part of Lifepoint Health, a diversified healthcare delivery network with facilities coast to coast. We are driven by a profound commitment to prioritize your well-being so you can provide exceptional care to others. As a Registered Nurse (RN) joining our team, you're embracing a vital mission dedicated to making communities healthier ®. Join us on this meaningful journey where your skills, compassion and dedication will make a remarkable difference in the lives of those we serve.

Working in a Quality Department means being at the heart of how a hospital ensures patients receive the safest, most effective, and compassionate care possible. It's a dynamic environment where clinical excellence, data, and teamwork intersect every single day.

You’ll collaborate with leaders, nurses, physicians, and frontline staff across every department. No two days look the same—one day you may be reviewing patient safety events or chart audits, and the next you're leading a root cause analysis, preparing for a regulatory survey, or helping develop a new process improvement plan. Your work directly influences outcomes like infection prevention, readmission rates, and patient satisfaction.

You’ll often serve as a bridge between departments—translating data into action, identifying improvement opportunities, and helping staff understand why quality metrics matter.
