⭐️ Staff SPOTLIGHT ⭐️ Introducing Kenny Duran, one of our bright, talented and compassionate physical therapist. Kenny’s personality and passion for helping others makes him a perfect fit in our HRPT family. Lets get to know Kenny a little better:
🔲Where did you grow up?
▪️Right here in Little Rock, I went to Lisa Academy for high school then onto UCA to get my DPT (‘24).
🔲Why did you choose the physical therapy profession?
▪️Both my parents are nurses so I’ve been exposed to healthcare my whole life. My first job out of high school was as a nursing aide at an inpatient rehab facility. Watching patients progress quickly in a matter of weeks was inspiring, and it led me to exploring PT as a field.
🔲In your free time, what are three things you enjoy doing?
▪️My interests change over time but for right now I’m enjoying quality time with my wife and dog, pickleball, and learning new languages.
🔲What is the most exciting place you have ever traveled too?
▪️Tough question. I’ve been blessed to have visited 11 countries. I’d say Singapore. It was the first leg of a month long backpacking trip around Asia with my college friends. Food was amazing and the architecture was breathtaking. Even met some folks from the U.S. that I still keep in touch with to this day.
🔲What’s your favorite holiday and/or tradition?
▪️Christmas. Not big on traditions. I just enjoy quality time with my family.
🔲 What is something interesting about you that most people might not know?
▪️ I am a published author. I wrote Thank the Evil while in college.
We are so thankful Kenny is a part of our team. Make sure to say hi 👋 the next time you see him in the clinic.
