Marie Lasher, PT

Facility Director/Physical Therapist

Marie joined the PHOENIX Rehabilitation and Health Services Team in March 2003 taking over the role of Facility Director and clinician of the Rural Valley outpatient facility. Her clinical experience includes a variety of settings including Outpatient physical therapy, Acute care and Nursing home care.

Currently, Marie resides with her husband and their Newfoundland dog "Diva" in Kittanning, PA. Marie enjoys boating on the Allegheny river, hiking and playing tennis in her leisure time.

My professional philosophy was well expressed by Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld in Parade Magazine when he wrote "Doctors must continue to provide hope to the sick and embrace compassion and human contact. Our quality of life will be immeasurably improved if, along with the amazing technology at our disposal, we recover the magic of the human touch."

I feel that all healthcare professionals must remember that patients are people, not a diagnosis.

"I feel the best tool for patient care is listening to the patient in order to develop an appropriate plan of care based on the patient's individual needs."
