Primary Childrens

Sat, 05 Feb 2011 00:00:00 -0600

Right now primary children's has no RT. They have a slew of Child life specialists and even music therapy. If a creative and motivated CTRS put together a proposal based on Shriner's model it is worth a shot at trying to get in the door. Even if it just starts out part time. Not just the children, but the parents need RT at PCMC too. If they help the parents it is putting the Child First and Always. Please contact me for more ideas and any questions.
