OCTOBER IS NATIONAL PHYSICAL THERAPY MONTH

Luke Sherwin, PT, and Carol Ruggles, PTA Three Rivers Home Health wants to recognize our physical therapists during the National Physical Therapy month. The physical therapy profession is definitely on the move and that is why it is their theme this year for the annual event! Our homecare team works so well together because of these individuals who go into the patient’s home and help assist with preventing falls, strengthening after surgery, regaining their balance and ability to return to their normal activities of daily living. It is within the first couple visits the staff become family to these patients, who depend on them and don’t want them to discharge them when they meet their goals. That is why our customer service numbers are always at the top! Thanks for all that you do, Carol, Luke and Alman. Enjoy your month! www.Trhealth.org
