PT Month: Thank you notes to some of our PTs!

In recognition of PT Month, we would like to acknowledge and thank a few of our physical therapists that are making a huge impact on their teams and care given.

caitlin-miller-ptCaitlin Miller: Riviere De Soleil Community Care Center

To say she is a new graduate, Caitlin possesses the qualities of an experienced clinician.  She has taken on the challenge of being lead physical therapist (PT) of a busy facility with compassion, enthusiasm and love for the profession.  Caitlin encourages the multidisciplinary approach by working closely with other disciplines to ensure the total needs of the patient have been met.  She approaches each workday as an opportunity to learn more about what it takes to be a top clinician.  She is wise beyond her years and we are so thankful to have her part of the team at Riviere. – Therapy team at Riviere

Bert Smith:  Riviere De Soleil Community Care Center

PT month would be incomplete without mentioning the glue that holds the team together, Bert Smith, PTA. He walks in the door ready to “rock and roll” and begins each day motivating the team and his patients.  When warranted, he provides unconventional treatment to encourage maximum potential that his patients appreciate and enjoy.  He is a big brother to the team and friend to all and we couldn’t imagine Riviere without him! – Therapy team at Riviere (Read more about Bert’s personal story here.)

Kristen Kramer is a great physical therapy assistant (PTA) that has demonstrated loyalty to her profession.  She works hard each day to challenge her patients to progress and reach their goals if that means to simply stand or to return home.  Kristen has demonstrated a great multidisciplinary approach by working with her teammates to ensure functional treatment is being provided.  Kristen is caring and compassionate when treating residents each day.  She brings positive attitude to the each team that she helps out!  She is truly a great PTA and does a great job! – Sadie Figueiredo, Mentor
