🌟Team Spotlight: Anna Furlong, COTA and Director Of Rehab at Lake Village Rehabilitation and Care Center🌟
We are excited to spotlight Anna on her promotion to the DOR position! Her heart, positive energy, and servant leadership make a powerful impact on our therapy team in Lake Village, and we are so proud to have her in this role.
Anna earned her Associate of Applied Science in Occupational Therapy from the University of Louisiana at Monroe, after completing her Bachelor of Science in Health Studies at Arkansas State University. She began practicing as a COTA in April 2024, gaining experience in both home health and skilled nursing facilities, and joined the ProCare family in December 2024.
Outside of work, Anna married her high school sweetheart in December 2023 and is joyfully preparing to welcome a precious baby boy this July. She loves spending time with family, traveling (especially beach trips 🌊), baking, listening to music, and crafting.
What Anna loves most about being a COTA is helping patients regain independence through improving strength and range of motion, balance, coordination, cognition, safety awareness, and functional skills. She is passionate about implementing adaptive equipment and modifying daily tasks to support success with activities of daily living.
Anna said, “The most rewarding part is seeing the confidence and joy patients gain as they accomplish their goals.”
Her favorite OT quote says it best:
💬 “Medicine adds days to life, OT adds life to days.” 🙌🫶
