👏 Congratulations to our Penn Medicine | Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Outpatient Therapy team in Plymouth Meeting for being the recipient of this quarter’s Patient Experience Award for Teamwork.
Each quarter, GSPP Rehabilitation's Patient Experience Leadership team recognizes excellent patient experience in the areas of Innovation, Service and Teamwork. GSPP senior leaders visited the clinic to personally present the award.
Lead Physical Therapist Colene Clayborne said success reflects the culture at Plymouth Meeting, one that is both supportive and empowering.
"Patients see how we interact with one another and that sense of teamwork helps them feel comfortable," Colene said. "Even when someone isn’t our direct patient, we make a point to say hello, check in and let them know they’re part of our community."

“Doing physical therapy at my age is tough, but I’m getting back to normal, and I’ve learned to slow down."
While on duty with the University of Pennsylvania Police, Gary Guaraldo was walking with two colleagues when he suddenly fell.
“Physical therapy is the harbor of hope in a really difficult transition from pain to freedom again.”
Following knee replacement surgery, Christine Moriconi had two clear goals in mind: be pain-free and return to full-time work. She was nervous to begin therapy at Penn Medicine | Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Outpatient Therapy, but she leaned on her therapists to build her confidence again.
Please join us in welcoming our newest GSPP team members! 👏
