The great privilege of my life

They trust me to help them feel better and live better, which is the great privilege of my life.” — Read more about physical therapist Emelia Brogna
Abundance of versatility, never mundane
“My job offers an abundance of versatility, which never allows for a mundane day. However, what doesn’t change is the light in a patient’s eye when he or she is able to get up from the couch for the first time, or take that first walk from the bed to the bathroom, or even sit on the edge of the bed for long periods of time without help—these are the things I love most about my job!” — Read more about physical therapist assistant Mitch Miller
Seeing the joy on someone's face
“I'm passionate about the field of occupational therapy because its primary purpose is to help others become as independent as they can be in skills that are relevant in their lives. There is nothing like seeing the joy on someone's face when they've achieved a new skill or overcome adversity or a challenge to their independence!” — Read more about occupational therapist Mary Wanta
