In the past 12 years, Cathy has led the Virginian Rehabilitation and Wellness team in the development of its specialty programs for those with Movement Disorders. All PT, OT and ST clinicians have at least one specialty certification to treat those with Parkinson’s Disease, as does the Wellness team.

Cathy’s interest in serving those with PD is also personal, as her father had PD as well as another close family member who was diagnosed with young onset PD.
