Ms. Barry is in the Patient Spotlight for Encore Rehabilitation-West Mobile!

Christina Barry is truly a Spotlight Patient! Following hip surgery, Christina committed herself fully to both Physical Therapy and her home exercise program over the course of several months.

Through hard work, consistency, and determination, she is now discharging as a ROCKSTAR and returning to full-time teaching along with the social and recreational activities she enjoys!

We are incredibly proud of the progress Christina has made throughout her recovery journey and grateful she trusted Encore West Mobile with her care!

Pictured with Christina are Physical Therapist Assistants LaTonya Jackson and Krystal Turner; Physical Therapist Kari Glover, Clinic Director; and Office Manager Alexandra Rice.

Christina also surprised the clinic with some absolutely delicious and creative cookies to celebrate her graduation from therapy!

Featured in the photo are specialty cookies from Three Sugars Cookiery, including “Hip Hip Hooray,” “They See Me Rolling” (with walker), and “Physical Therapy”designs.

Thank you, Christina, for bringing such positivity and dedication to the clinic each day! We LOVE to see you move!

Tanieka Cope receives BEE Award Nomination (Being Excellent Every Day)!

Tanieka Cope, DPT, was nominated for the BEE Award at USA Health in recognition of the incredible teamwork and collaboration she brings to our unit as a Physical Therapist and we are so proud of her!

Tanieka plays a vital role in helping our patient regain strength, independence, and confidence. She works closely with the nursing staff and other members of the care team to ensure that each patient receives the best possible support throughout their recovery. Her communication and collaboration make a meaningful difference in the care we provide every day.

What truly sets Tanieka apart is her willingness to work alongside the team. She is always approachable, always ready to discuss patient needs, and always focused on finding the best plan to help patients succeed. She understands that great patient outcomes happen when everyone works together, and she consistently makes that teamwork a priority.

Tanieka also brings encouragement and positivity to the patients under her care. She motivates them to push a little further, stand a little stronger, and believe in their progress. Many patients are hesitant or discouraged when it comes time for therapy, but Tanieka has a way of supporting and encouraging them, so they feel capable and safe during the process.

Just like the name of this award suggests, Tanieka is a true collaborator within our healthcare facility. Her partnership with nursing and the rest of the interdisciplinary team helps keep patient care moving forward in the best possible direction. Her teamwork, dedication, and commitment to our patients make her an invaluable part of our care team.

Congratulations, Tanieka! You are amazing!
