Global PT Day of Service

globalpt1025

The field of Physical Therapy aims to make a difference in the community through helping patients live a healthy and active life. The APTA recognized October 15, 2016 as Global PT Day of Service to raise awareness of the field and inform patients of the dynamic role Physical Therapists can play in their lives. Faculty and students from USF Health SPTRS volunteered their time at the University Village and Renaissance Senior Living facilities by educating patients on fall prevention and completing screens for fall risk. By performing these acts of service, Physical Therapists aim to increase unity and knowledge within the community.
