COMMUNITY REHABILITATION CLINIC

Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions Foundation

It is with honor and gratitude that I salute those who have given of their time and energy in building the Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions Foundation (RMUoHPF). Since its inception in 2008, those associated with the RMUoHPF have worked diligently in building it to a level where it can provide funding to support student scholarships, student and faculty research, community healthcare, learning resource centers and special projects.

Additional focus has been on service to the Utah County community at large through the design, construction and operation of the Community Rehabilitation Clinic (CRC). The CRC serves the under-served population of Utah County and assists them in overcoming physical impairment in an effort to restore them to a functional state of life and to facilitate rehabilitation recovery so they are competitive in the workplace. Much effort has gone into the development and operation of the CRC and soon, Doctor of Physical Therapy students, working under the direct supervision of qualified and licensed volunteer healthcare providers, will provide care to indigent patients utilizing the CRC for their rehabilitation needs.

Although we have much work to do and much distance to travel, I am proud to have the RMUoHPF be an integral component of Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions. I am excited to witness continued growth and maturity of the Foundation through dedicated and focused Board members and others who are committed to fulfilling the mission of the Foundation.

A great example of the accomplishments of the RMUoHP Foundation through the CRC is the heartwarming story of a patient we will call Mery. At 8 months of age, Mery acquired polio while living in Peru. She is now 38 years old and trying to survive in Utah County with a 5 year old son.

Although she made significant improvement in physical therapy, she was unable to walk without falling, so Dr. Misti Timpson, a faculty member at RMUoHP entry-level Doctor of Physical Therapy program, and Mery’s physical therapist at the CRC, recommended a 3-wheeled bicycle for Mery.

The CRC staff, friends at RMUoHP, and many of Dr. Timpson’s previous patients raised enough money to purchase the bike and helmet. And now, Mery can ride her bike while her son either walks or rides his bike to school, the grocery store, and community park. .
