PT Day of Service 2021 — A Summary and Celebration

Therapeutic Associates

October 27, 2021

Each year, October marks National PT Month and our commitment, as an organization, to Global PT Day of Service.

Across all the regions we serve, our PT Day of Service ambassadors were busy organizing, recruiting volunteers and participating in their service projects for 2021. Collectively, our teammates were responsible for making a positive impact on their local communities and enriching their personal lives through charitable acts of kindness. We wanted to take a moment to share some quick statistics from this year, along with direct quotes and photos that help summarize the whole experience. Thank you to all those who participated, contributed and volunteered to make this happen this year, and every other year prior.

Quotes from our PT Day of Service Ambassadors

"This experience always amazes and humbles us; the folks we were able to help were so thankful."

“Participating in a PTDOS event really puts into action our TAI core value of “Do the right thing.” Knowing that we are supporting our local community, while also supporting a greater movement of charitable activities is very inspiring.”

“The theme that was evident during our Spokane Region PT Day of Service this year was generosity. Generosity of the farmer to donate his crop. Generosity of the volunteers to help those in need. And generosity of the weather to spare us from the rain. It was truly a special event this year where members of the community, volunteers, and employees of TAI were all able to come together and help hundreds of those in need.”

"This experience has really brought our team together to do something unique to help a community in need and our patients really rallied around us to support the cause as well!"

"Spending time volunteering together is so special. It connects us as teammates in a different way than our daily interactions and re-fuels our sense of purpose. We contributed to sorting and packing over 4,000 lbs of food at Food Lifeline that was shipped to local food banks that same day. It’s awesome to consider the impact of our collective work and inspires us all to continue to serve throughout the year."

"A lot of people donated [to the food drive] a little bit each which added up to a lot. It’s amazing how profound a change can come from a lot of people giving even just a little bit. As they say, many hands make for light work."

"In my opinion, we can't serve our communities too much."

Officially, Physical Therapy Day of Service is complete for 2021, but that doesn’t mean our Therapeutic Associates teammates wait an entire year to participate in community service acts again. There are several projects happening in November, through the remainder of 2021 and into spring of 2022. Be on the lookout for ways to participate in future opportunities with your local clinic.
