Alumni spotlight: Ryan Perry
It has been eight years since I graduated from Bradley University, and I have to say I love life as a physical therapist. I started off working for Professional Therapy Services as an acute physical therapist at Methodist Hospital and stayed for one year. Knowing outpatient physical therapy was my desired career path, I moved to Chicago to work for HealthSouth in 2002. Due to an acquisition, I am now working for NovaCare, and they have been very supportive. I work in a small clinic inside a large health club in Lincoln Park, thus I have the joy of working with many young athletes mixed in with a variety of other patient ages and activity levels. I love the fact that I can assist others in achieving their active goals and lead a healthy life. Full Story > |
