Marshfield is a friendly, affordable small city of about 18,900 with a major regional health system (Marshfield Clinic) that provides steady clinical work, supportive local networks, and the practical services travel therapists need.
If you want more dining, nightlife, arts or outdoor options on weekends, Wausau (about 40 miles) and Stevens Point (about 35 miles) are within an easy drive, so multi‑week contracts feel like a convenient home base rather than being stuck in nowhere.
