It seems like this past year has been full of ups and downs. Certainly, with the struggles of a global Pandemic, this is a good time to reach out in the spirit of Christmas to those in need. We at Superior Physical Therapy certainly mourn with those who have become sick or lost friends and loved ones. Our thoughts and prayers extend out to all our friends and neighbors. But, do we also have reasons to celebrate? Indeed we do! 2020 was also a time where we figured out how to reach out, even if it could not always be done face to face. We found out that a kind word can make a difference even 6 ft apart. We discovered that reaching out to those in need can be done without a handshake. Virtual hugs are a real deal. Indeed, even a warm smile can be felt underneath a mask. However, one aspect of our community continues to be underserved. It is cold outside and not enough of our homeless and hungry have enough food and shelter. We at Superior PT would like to better support our local food bank by having December be the month to give for our staff, patients, and community. Each of our clinic locations in Southeastern Idaho will be collecting canned food every day during the month. Our goal is to collect 1000 lbs of food for those in need! Weat SuperiorPT joinwithour patients and community incelebrating the goodof 2020. Somany of our patientshave regainedstrength,motion, and normal life again throughPT. Maywe all be committed to showa greater gratitude for our bounteous blessings as we give back to those in need in our food drive, continue to pray for global relief fromCoronavirus, and focus a little more time on the life of the Savior of the World. Wishing you and yours all the best in the New Year.
