 "Her attitude supports our positive work environment, and patients
often request her when scheduling appointments," says co-worker
Julie Cross, who nominated Laura for the honor. "She is always
willing to provide extra assistance with patient care as well as
other tasks in our department."Miller, who is originally from
Indiana, has been a physical therapy assistant at ALMH for about
three years. She has a bachelor's degree in psychology and an
associate degree as a physical therapy assistant.
Her day-to-day job includes working one-on-one with patients and
their physical therapist to help them complete their exercise
programs and get back to a functional level of activity.
"I would definitely recommend this career. It is very rewarding
to see the efforts you make on the patient's part transform that
patient's life and allow the patient to resume the lifestyle they
are accustomed to," Miller says.
She adds that she enjoys her co-workers and team in
rehabilitation services and that they are always willing to help
each other out.
"I really enjoy the friendships I have formed with many people,"
Miller says. "I love that it isn't a chore to come to work."
ALMH employs more than 290 in a wide variety of job functions. A
different employee is honored each month for their commitment to
creating great patient experiences, getting great results and making
ALMH a great place to work.
