“I feel blessed to be a part of this team and serve people within my own community. Going to physical therapy as a child and an adult I always thought it was only to exercise and improve physical mobility. After working as a PTA I have come to realize it is more than that — it is also about establishing and building relationships with people.”

“After coming to Batson years ago for my own PT, I witnessed a fun and uplifting environment full of therapists that loved their job and cared for their patients above all else. I enjoyed watching patients improve and realized I also wanted to be someone who had a positive impact in a patient’s rehabilitation journey. Little did I know after getting accepted into the program and working hard throughout school that the Lord would lead me to work right where my love for PT began!”
