Clinical Specialist

Description
Our mission is to help hospitals improve the management and outcomes of their most complex patients.
Kreg's Beds provide an innovative modality to get complex patients out of bed, mobilized and stabilized so they can progress to PT, LTACH, and ultimately home. Because not all the patients are the same, not all the beds should be the same. Kreg's offers a unique portfolio of specialty beds and 24/7 rental services to allow clinicians to safely and efficiently mobilize those complex patients. We are a small company, on a mission to stand out from the crowd and make Kreg Beds the #1 hospital partner to deliver better outcomes for complex patients.
