5 More Friendly Faces Join Team OSR

As we jump into September and into our busy season, we’ve added 5 new employees to the OSR staff!

Megan will be a full-time Physical Therapist in our Anthem clinic; Rachelle (also a Physical Therapist) is heading up our exciting new aquatic therapy program at the Anthem Community Center; Hilary is our new PT Tech in OSR’s Peoria clinic; Bethany, a PT Tech as well, is already working with Curtiss in the Gilbert clinic; and finally, Patrick, who is a past patient, is helping out in our Anthem office.

We are very excited for these new employees to join the OSR team, but with heavy heart we report that Christina, one of our PT Techs in Anthem, has left Arizona to begin a new adventure attending college in Ohio. OSR wishes her all the best!

In celebration of our continued expansion, and to welcome our new staff members, we held our 1st Annual OSR Team Building Day at “Dave and Busters”. It was a great day filled with fun, laughter, and games to make the OSR team the best it can be!

A special thank you to Aaron Williams, our President/CEO, for his continued leadership in helping us continue to grow, and for a fantastic afternoon.
