In this episode, Garrett welcomes Phillip Parker, OTR/L, and founder of Omni Rehabilitation in Harlingen, Texas and recent winner of the Neubie Grant Program. Phillip shares his journey from paramedic to occupational therapist and the drive that led him to return to his hometown to provide elite care in a place he calls a "therapy desert." His passion for bringing high-quality rehab to the Rio Grande Valley, where advanced care options are limited, offers valuable insights for practitioners and patients alike. We discuss:

  • Challenges and gaps in healthcare for rural and underserved communities

  • Phillip's unique approach to bringing big-city therapy quality to smaller markets

  • The NeuFit Grant Program and the impact of the Neubie on patient outcomes, especially with the high incidence of stroke patients in the community he serves

  • How a competitive mindset can drive excellence in healthcare

Phillip's commitment to providing cutting-edge care to his community is an inspiring story of dedication, vision, and resilience. Tune in to hear how he's transforming lives and raising the bar for therapy in South Texas!
