DIRECTOR NOMINEES, BOD
2 Open Seats
CRAIG JOHNSON
PT, MBA
"There is tremendous opportunity ahead for private practice, if we focus on delivering value, defined as out-come/cost. By collecting and analyzing cost and outcome data we can improve our competitive advantage in the marketplace."
WILLIAM (BILL) PFISTER
MPT, CLT
"My prior experience growing a small, individual private practice and now being responsible for growing a larger, multi-practice physical therapy business has forged a unique perspective in understanding the challenges that face both large and small private practices alike."
BRETT ROBERTS
PT, DPT
"We are facing a monumental shift in healthcare and the opportunity to thrive as a profession has never been greater. Legislative strategy and a creative approach to problem solving are two strengths that I will bring to the table to guide our profession into the future."
ALICE (ALI) SCHOOS
PT, OCS
"The role of PPS is simple, and the job is big: to help the private practitioner thrive and add value to the health care continuum, while promoting private practice physical therapists as the primary care provider for musculoskeletal health."
KATHRYN (KATHY) STENSLIE
PT, DPT
"Health care consolidation is one of our most critical issues now and into the future: I hope to bring my experience in balancing the role of a strong private practitioner in an environment that is dominated by expanding hospital-based health care systems."
