Meet our Chef of the Month, Dr. Glenn Aricaya, our Rehab director. Glenn holds a doctoral degree in Physical Therapy and is passionate not only about helping residents through therapy, but also about the art of cooking.
Glenn grew up in the Philippines, where his family owned a small eatery in a local market. Even as a grade school student, he helped run the business - an experience that ignited his lifelong love for cooking.
His inspiration comes from the people around him who appreciate what he does. Whether through his culinary creations, his therapy work, or simple gestures that brighten someone's day, their gratitude motivates him to give even more - wholeheartedly and unconditionally.
Outside of work, Glenn enjoys exploring restaurants, trying different menus, and recreating them in his own kitchen. His hobbies also include world travel, snowboarding, attending live shows and comedy bars, and cooking or catering intimate fine-dining experiences for small groups.
Looking ahead, Glenn envisions himself continuing his career in physical therapy, while also opening a catering business or a small restaurant bar. Despite his busy schedule, he keeps a healthy work-life balance by enjoying fun weekends, and unwinding at home every night cooking his favorite dishes and watching movies.
We are proud to spotlight Glenn this month - an inspiring leader, a great Rehab Director, a talented cook, and someone whose passion makes a difference every day. - MC
