As Director of Workers' Compensation, she helps staff to understand workers’ compensation and how best to facilitate relationships with the workers’ compensation community. Prior to this role, she was the director of admissions at Shepherd Center.
The podcast discusses options for patients who need a “tune up,” those who never participated in rehabilitation, or injured workers who have previously participated in rehabilitation and are more than six months post-injury.
