PR
Award 2005 -- Each
year, the Colorado Chapter recognizes the clinic or facility that does
the most outstanding job in promoting physical therapy during October -
which is National Physical Therapy Month. This
year's award goes to many people in many PT practices who worked
actively on PT Month 2004. Inspired
and led by Paul O'Brian, PT, CSCS, and his key staff member Dianne
Steppe at Accelerate Physical Therapy in Arvada, the Private Practice
SIG responded to the call. Paul coordinated an expanded statewide
"mayoral" proclamation project. Paul and his staff wrote to
mayors throughout the state, asked them proclaim PT Month in their
community and matched them with local Physical Therapists. Proclamations
- that we know for sure - were made in
16 cities: Arvada,
Aspen, Boulder, Brighton, Broomfield, Denver, Durango, Estes Park, Grand
Junction, Lakewood, Littleton, Montrose, Pueblo, Thornton, Westminster,
and Wheat Ridge (by our own Gretchen Cerveny, PT, Mayor). In
addition, the Private Practice SIG duplicated and distributed a video to
Colorado cable TV channels. Congratulations
to the Private Practice SIG for making Physical Therapists visible
during PT Month 2004!
