Today marks the first-ever National Orthotics and Prosthetics Day!
At the heart of the Orthotics and Prosthetics department at Holland Bloorview is a commitment to client- and family-centred care. For Béatrice Lavergne, Certified Orthotist, developing a working relationship with clients is the best part of the role.
And, as Alex Danks, physiotherapist, and Lisa Artero, occupational therapist, explain: "We also stand out as one of the few departments in the hospital that will follow clients throughout their entire lifespan. This allows us to develop strong therapeutic relationships, which improves our partnership and helps us grow as clinicians."
On National Orthotics and Prosthetics Day, we want to say thank you to our friends in "O & P" for their dedication to supporting clients and families at Holland Bloorview.
