TERRE HAUTE – Hamilton Center, Inc. is committed to providing the best possible work environment for all staff through continuous review and evaluation of operational structure, salaries, benefits, and culture. It is with this in mind that the organization is building on its commitment by increasing salaries for nurses and therapists.

A 2022 Gallup survey indicates that salary is the top factor considered by job applicants when selecting a position (64 percent of applicants). HCI is making aggressive changes to its salary schedule for nurses and therapists to help satisfy this desire.

Hamilton Center’s revised starting salaries for therapist positions are:

  • Associate Licensed/Temporary Licensed Therapist – $60,000
    • A $1,000 sign-on bonus to be paid at time of hire, 7 months, and 12 months ($3,000 total).
  • Clinically Licensed Therapist – $72,000 base
    • 3+ years’ experience – $76,000
    • 5+ years’ experience – $80,000
    • 7+ years’ experience – $84,000
    • 10+ years’ experience – $88,000

Additional benefits are available to qualified staff.

Melvin L. Burks, President and CEO of Hamilton Center, Inc., said the changes are necessary for the facility to continue to serve the 11 counties in which HCI has offices.
