Kerry has this immense amount of knowledge and resources combined with determination to make it right. We are very blessed to have such a valuable team member to depend on in our times of need. He is certainly a wonderful example for OneTeam|OneVision and helping us to be able to be present in the communities we serve. Thank you Kerry for all that you do!

VibrantCare provided another successful Continuing Education opportunity in April; DIN2, Electrical and Perineural Dry Needling Strategies, hosted by the AZ Market. With 20 participants from Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, WA and Santa Cruz, CA present for this extensive course; education, comradery and fun were not in short supply. After 2 very long days, participants took a break and were treated to an evening of “Arizona Chill”. Tacos, Paddleboarding and chillin’ were the theme of the night. A long day Sunday concluded this valuable course, adding another tool to the VibrantCare Clinician toolbox. Who says learning can’t be FUN! The East Bay-CA Market will be hosting the Fall 2024 CEU , will YOU be there? #hiring

As I hope all of you would expect, I am very passionate about what we do every day for our patients via Physical Therapy. I believe we are truly blessed to have the opportunity to restore function and create a better quality of life for the patients we serve. Whether you are on the front lines providing care to patients or in a back office (E.g. billing office), we all have an impact in the patients’ lives we treat daily.  It has been my goal over the last few years to really highlight what we do inside and outside VibrantCare. One of the outside opportunities came via Indeed. We worked with Indeed to highlight the day in the life of a Physical Therapist. With Indeed’s reach, I hope we can share with the Physical Therapy community what we do each and every day here at VibrantCare. Click the link below to watch the video “A day in the life of a Physical Therapist” that features our very own Kerilyn Graham! Thank you Kerilyn for your willingness to go on the national stage to demonstrate what we do daily! https://lnkd.in/gdJsaq9S I would truly appreciate it if you would take the time to view the video and to share it with as many people as you can and in particular with others in our industry. I am hopeful that this video will demonstrate our commitment to quality patient care and help more people consider Physical Therapy as a career path. I certainly appreciate Sherry Schroyer (our VP of Sales and Marketing) for her diligence in working with Indeed to make this video a reality and to Kerilyn for her willingness to represent us in this video!

Please join us in congratulating our Onsite Clinical Operations Director, Kari Kockler, for 23 years of excellence while servicing our industrial clients.    Kari is no stranger to putting herself in her patients’ and their employers’ shoes, literally. From strapping on spikes and climbing up a pole, to climbing into industrial equipment and machinery to better understand the scope of injury and how to treat them, is commonplace for Kari. She has a unique ability to understand what the job requirements are in the industrial setting, so she can design a rehab program specifically for the patient, their job and the employer, to strengthen, condition and reduce risk of further injury and fatigue.   Kari is a dynamic therapist who is passionate about serving our clients and their employees. She is equally as passionate about coaching and mentoring. With 30+ years of playing and coaching volleyball, Kari understands what it means to work as a team. As an avid outdoor enthusiast, Kari also appreciates taking time for self-reflection and self-improvement.  Her desire to partner with her team, our clients and their staff, is undeniable. It has often been said, her enthusiasm is infectious, making her team and those around her, want to be better and do better.   Congratulations Kari! We are truly a better organization with you as part of our Leadership Team!

We are here at St. Augustine School of Health Sciences- San Marcos location for their PT career fair! If you are in the area be sure to stop by! 💚
