Member Spotlight

Congratulations to our Member Spotlight Award Winner

Shannon Simpson, PTA

As a generalist, I rely on ANPT tools to provide the best possible patient care. In fact, when ANPT initially published the Core Set of Outcome Measures for Adults with Neurologic Conditions, I was part of our SNFimplementation team for Testing Tuesday where the goal is for every PT/PTA to utilize an appropriate outcome measure with each patient.
