Tanieka Cope, DPT, is nominated for the USA Health BEE Award!

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!

~Tanieka is a Physical Therapist on the Encore Rehabilitation Team at USA University Hospital, Mobile, Alabama.

Mr. Lowery came to us experiencing significant pain in the bottom of his foot, later diagnosed as Plantar Fasciitis. The discomfort had progressed to the point where even walking became a challenge.

Sarah Orgel is Patient of the Month for Encore Rehabilitation-Opelika

“I was experiencing arthritis in my knee and I wanted to strengthen it and possibly avoid surgery. When I came to Encore, I was familiar with one of the Physical Therapists here, and after the first visit I felt comfortable with the entire Rehab Team. I also enjoyed working with the Student Physical Therapists in the clinic. Encore because it is such a warm, welcoming setting. The Rehab Team is well trained and motivating, and it is a very well-organized facility.

“I performed full range of motion in my knee, stretching and strengthening exercises and the benefits have been dramatic! I am transitioning into their wellness program now. Focusing on living skills gives me more confidence and helps prevent falls! I would recommend Encore for Physical Therapy.” ~ Sarah Orgel, happy patient
