✨Meet the Therapy Team! ✨
To celebrate OT Month, we want to introduce the faces behind our Occupational Therapy department here at CCH!
👤 Clancy
• Time at CCH: 2 years
• Why Valentine? " I chose to come to Valentine after graduation because I am a Sandhills native and truly love everything about “cattle country.”
• Specialties: Clancy specializes in Women’s Health and Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation, helping women regain confidence and function. She also provides expert care for upper extremity conditions—including custom splinting and bracing for the fingers, hand, and wrist.
👤 Kaitlyn
• Time at CCH: Nearly 7 years
• Why Valentine? “I initially came to Valentine because of its proximity to my family and the opportunity to work in a rural setting. After meeting my husband, Valentine became home, and I have remained here since.”
• Specialties: Kaitlyn is a specialist in Lymphedema Management and is LSVT BIG Certified, a specific treatment program for those living with Parkinson’s disease. She also enjoys working with stroke recovery and the geriatric population.
💡 OT Month Takeaway: OT vs. PT
We often get asked: "What’s the difference?"
🔹 Physical Therapy (PT) focuses on the "how"—improving movement, strength, balance, and mobility.
🔹 Occupational Therapy (OT) focuses on the "what"—helping you participate in meaningful daily activities (occupations) like dressing, cooking, working, and fine motor skills.
In short: PT gets you moving, and OT gets you back to living!
