Meet one of our Occupational Therapists, Mara!

Mara has been an OT for 3 and a half years and has special training in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). She said her favorite part of her job is seeing people recognize their own progress and being proud of themselves.

She enjoys baking, watching sports, exercising, gardening, and most importantly being a mom and a wife.

Happy OT month!!

We have a new face on Rehab, our volunteer, Kay!

Kay has done some very exciting things in her life: she worked as an Industrial Engineer for approximately 20 years AND was a nurse for 16 years. She started her nursing career in Dallas and worked on a Neuro Rehab Unit and eventually worked for SMC in 2016 before leaving. Kay noted her favorite parts of working on Rehab were the fantastic workers and seeing the patients make progress. She said she recently spent 10 days on the Rehab floor after a hospitalization. Now, she keeps herself busy being active in church, book clubs, volunteering, and working for Stadium People. She has also been a Girl Scout for 55 years and takes frequent international trips traveling to Kenya, Madagascar, and yearly trips to Mexico.

Kay has been hopeful in working towards obtaining a builders certification, which would help the aging community with making their home “Aging in Place.” This would show people how to equip and make their home accessible for when they get older and want to live as independently as possible. Kay noted even lighting can make a big difference and that when she moved to Stillwater she built an aging in place home.

Yesterday Kevin received Employee of the Month for all of SMC! In his nomination, it was highlighted how Kevin truly cares for each and every one of his patients. He will stay late to ensure they are getting the care and therapy they need. Co-workers noted how Kevin is not just a friend, but also a mentor and “Dad” to them.
How lucky are we to have Kevin on our team! Amazing job, Kevin!
