Courtney Connelly, an occupational therapist on University of Michigan Health-Sparrow’s float team, takes special care to ensure every patient feels safe and comfortable throughout their rehabilitation.
“Every single interaction—whether it's getting someone out of bed in the ICU for the first time or helping them brush their teeth — I really love celebrating their degrees of improvement,” Courtney said. “It’s what I love most about my job and those moments keep me coming back every day.”
Courtney goes out of her way to bring a positive approach to providing support and encouragement to her patients as they work toward their recovery goals. This is just one of the reasons why she is this month’s Sparrow Spotlight.
