Wendy Mathewson,

became a center manager and is now the regional clinical
coordinator at Select Physical Therapy. In this position, she
oversees education and professional development. She is married

member at Regis University.
She has worked with the Colorado Chapter
since 1998 in various capacities. She never hesitates to volunteer and has
served on the Chapter’s Nominating Committee since 2001,
chairing the committee four different years. Colleagues describe

to help."
Thank you Wendy Mathewson for all
you do for physical therapy in your work place and your
community.

Linda Hannen, PT
”Loyal and Consistent” would be two words
that describe the next award winner, If you
want to get a job done, you can always count on this physical
therapist to finish it correctly the first time. And she’s been
demonstrating that since 1970 when she graduated from the
University of Colorado with a BS in PT.
Since that time she worked at Spalding
Hospital, spent many years in private practice, experienced a
national corporate acquisition, and returned in 2001 to her alma
mater, CU Denver.
This award winner is an eager volunteer,
having served as president and faculty liaison to the DU Denver
PT Alumni Association. She is currently co-chair of the
Chapter’s Education / Professional Development Committee where
she consistently identifies and recommends outstanding speakers
and topics for our spring and fall conferences. She is also a
member of the Chapter’s Nominating Committee.
Linda Hannen, you exemplify the
best of the best in our profession. Thank you for all you do for
physical therapy in Colorado.
