Shelly took me from barely moving to almost doing everything. She is very friendly and very supportive. Shelly has made a very big improvement in my life. Thank you so much, Patient Pat Haas

Shelly has made a big difference in my life. I do believe I never would have been able to walk again if it had not been for her commitment and quality in her therapy for me. She is a very caring and responsible person and does a wonderful job in her work. She is certainly an asset to the therapy department. I want to thank you and I am so grateful for all you did for me while I was your patient. Keep up the good work and that smile. Thank you! Patient Bonnie Lorenz

CONGRATULATIONS Shelly! Thank you for being a Rising Star at Grant Regional!
