Ryan Andrews
Physical Therapist and Rehab Director, Natchitoches Community Care Center
"Helping patients access the care they need is just as important as the treatment itself."
Ryan has 22 years of experience in physical therapy.
A moment that reminded him why he does this work
"Families often tell me how much they appreciate how compassionate and knowledgeable my team is, and how much it means when we take the time to walk them through what to expect. Hearing that we've given a family hope is why I do this work."
A win from this year
"We recently had a patient give a fantastic, tear-jerker video testimonial, and we had lots of good treatment footage to add to it. The Facebook post by our marketer generated over 6,000 views in two days. It felt good to have our team bragged on and let folks see the difference we can make in someone's life."
What people outside the field don't understand
"The ability to work with insurance companies to get patients the care they need is just as important as the treatments themselves. We have a great BOM in our facility, and we work with families to maximize their benefits."
What Ryan would want for his own family
"A team that is communicating amongst themselves and a team that is able to adapt on the fly to give the patient the best they can."
