“If we get patients into physical therapy or occupational therapy early in their treatment, it helps with outcomes; it helps them [patients] not decondition so easily, especially for elderly populations. However, not only addressing their physical symptoms, but also their mental and emotional health [is important] too, because we know that we are not just caring for one aspect of the person but the whole person.” — Sarah Everette, LCSW
