Donna Peterson Named Indiana PTA of the Year
NeuroHope’s own Donna Peterson was honored this weekend by the Indiana Chapter of the American Physical Therapy Association as the winner of the 2017 Schneider Physical Therapist Assistant Award!
The annual award is presented to an outstanding Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) in Indiana, and we are thrilled for Donna and her family for such well-deserved recognition.
Donna has established herself as one of the most knowledgeable and trusted neuro PTAs in our community. As one of the first employees of the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana, as a teacher at the University of Indianapolis, and as a founding member of NeuroHope, her expertise of the field is second to none.
Donna was the first therapist I had upon my admission to inpatient rehabilitation following my spinal cord injury in 2010. She worked with me for two straight months. She pushed me, encouraged me, and educated me during the most trying time of my life. The passion Donna shows for her work and for each one of her patients is evident. I was lucky to have her as my therapist then, and I’m lucky to have her as an integral part of NeuroHope now, seven years later.
On behalf of all the patients, students, co-workers and friends whose lives she has touched throughout her career – we say: CONGRATULATIONS DONNA!!
