Facility Director/Physical Therapist

Lori joined PHOENIX Rehabilitation and Health Services, Inc. in June of 1998. Originally from the Natrona Heights, PA area, she currently resides in Indiana, PA with her daughter Megan. Lori also enjoys many outdoor activities including hunting, fishing, water skiing and SCUBA diving.

"I am absolutely committed to clinical excellence by providing the highest quality care in the most efficient manner possible. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings including outpatient clinics, skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies and exercise rehabilitation clinics. In addition to collegiate studies, I have attended many continuing education courses and I have clinical experience in aquatic therapy and vestibular/balance rehabilitation."

"Very simply, my philosophy is getting the patient better in the shortest amount of time through the most effective means possible. I put a tremendous amount of effort into educating the patient about their medical condition. Education, along with proper treatment, serves to inform the patient about the consequences of their condition and in turn, what they can do to best help themselves get better. Most importantly, once the patient is better, education serves to maintain gains made during treatment and prevent recurrence."

“My goal as an occupational therapist is to empower my patients by teaching them about their condition, how to care for and live with their condition and to serve as their guide in reaching their goals and achieving independence. I think it is important to treat each person as a unique individual and listen to their needs, prioritize their goals and do all in my ability to help them attain those goals knowing each person reacts differently to a disease or injury.”
 

DEDICATION TO MY PATIENTS...

“I will strive to maximize my patients performance by creating and administering effective treatment plans. Moreover, the rehabilitation process is a team effort— an open line of communication between the patient, their doctor and other rehabilitation staff to help obtain mutually established goals is key.”
