Exceptional healthcare begins with clinicians who bring skill, empathy, and dedication to every interaction. This month, we’re celebrating one of those professionals.
July’s Field Staff Recognition Recipient
Each month, Preferred recognizes a clinician whose professionalism, compassion, and dedication make a lasting impact. This month, we’re proud to honor Michael H., a physical therapist serving patients at an acute care facility in Ventura, California.
Michael was nominated by his recruiter, Leticia Sellers, who shared:
“I’d like to recognize Michael for being an outstanding therapist and a valued member of our team. It has been a pleasure working with him over the past year. His professionalism, positive attitude, reliability, and dedication consistently stand out.
Michael brings compassion and commitment to every assignment, always going above and beyond for his patients and the facilities he supports. I am truly grateful to have him on our team and look forward to his continued success.”
What Drives Michael as a Physical Therapist
When asked what he enjoys most about being a physical therapist, Michael reflected on the moments that remind him why he chose this profession:
“One of the most gratifying parts of my career is the ability to be a part of someone else’s experience. Oftentimes patients come in discouraged, frustrated, worried, and even hopeless. When patients become clear with themselves and fully take advantage of what I have to offer, a shift occurs. They realize that they can overcome their hardship, their pain, their surgery, their diagnosis, etc. I’ve seen patients with spinal cord injuries walk, the elderly face death with grace, professional athletes return to sport, babies starting to walk and crawl, and the list goes on and on. It’s remarkable what individuals can do when given the opportunity, guidance, and space to grow. This is definitely one of the perks of the job and keeps me invested in the work I do and grateful for it.”
