Heather Huck
Terapeuta ocupacional / Líder clínico de rehabilitación
Pasó los últimos 12 años trabajando como gerente de programa para Independence Care Center SNF en Perryville con un amplio conocimiento en geriatría y enfermería especializada, incluyendo posicionamiento en silla de ruedas, problemas orto, neuro, cardio / pulmonares, debilidad general. Antes de eso, trabajé en Ste.

¡Me encanta ser OT! Me encanta ser parte del progreso de mis pacientes y compartir su alegría, además de ayudarlos a superar los obstáculos y el dolor en el camino. Verlos regresar a las actividades normales de la vida y saber que yo fui parte de ese éxito es muy gratificante.

Kristyn received her Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science in 2012 and Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2014 from St. Louis University.
She spent three years of her career in an outpatient orthopedic clinic. During that time she pursued further training in Women's Health/Pelvic Floor PT, where she developed a love for this underserved population of patients. She then spent 7 years in a skilled nursing facility treating the geriatric population which is her favorite age group to care for.
When asked what her favorite part of her job was, she responded, "The best part is connecting with people. As a PT, I get the opportunity to spend more time one-on-one with the patients than most other medical professionals. I love to hear their stories, to make them feel heard, and to bring a smile to their faces, all while helping them reach their goals."
She has 2 children which are twins, one boy and one girl, and she loves to travel as often as she can spending as much time outside as possible.
Kristyn joined Memorial Hospital's Therapy and Sports Rehab Center team in September 2023.
