April is Occupational Therapy Month! 🧡

Occupational therapy is all about helping people stay independent, safe, and engaged in the activities that give their lives meaning—at every age and stage of life. 💪✨

Our Occupational Therapist, Amy Kemp, OTR/L, works with patients in multiple settings and with a wide variety of diagnoses/conditions, including:

🌟 Orthopedic conditions/injuries
🌟 Lymphedema therapy
🌟 Activities of daily living
🌟 and so much more!

“One thing that I wish people knew about OT is that I don’t help people find jobs!” Amy says. “Occupations refers to anything that occupies a person’s time. We ALL have occupations: gardening, work, school, and taking care of kids are all meaningful occupations. My goal is to help you recover from an injury, illness, or setback, to get you back to your occupations.”

We’re incredibly grateful for Amy’s dedication and the hours she spends 1:1 with patients to help them return to activities that matter most in their daily lives.
