Testimonials

"NARA is one of the greatest assets to my practice group. It provides me with invaluable information and
unparalleled networking opportunities. NARA gives us a competitive advantage."
...Kennedy I. Hawkins, President, PT Northwest, LLC

"In my 12 year association with NARA, I have attended almost all conferences. What a benefit!! At each
conference, I have learned something of such value that it pays for the conference cost many times. The
benefits have included new treatment programs for patients that have added $ millions to revenues. Extensive
insights into the regulations for Medicare, Medicaid or specific FI's keeps me on top of this essential function of
our business. Even more valuable are conversations with other members during Round Table discussions, or
during meals. Trends and tips on hiring and retaining therapist, productivity standards and fringe benefits are
always beneficial. Just the definition of "Productivity" and how to use the word with therapist has created
valuable benefits.
NARA is the only organization dedicated solely to multiple disciplinary therapy practices. I guarantee Your
Business will profit from NARA membership and conferences. Membership is not a cost. It is a continuously
profitable investment.
NARA's legislative information and the services of George Olsen, NARA's legal counsel, have provided the
understanding and background necessary to have informed discussions with my Congressman and Senators."
...Ted Botens, Rehab Management

"I'm a Speech Language Pathologist who has been in the rehabilitation therapy industry for now 15 years, (14 of
them in management and executive roles). In joining The National Association of Rehabilitation Agencies and
Providers, (NARA), approximately three years ago, I've been part of an organization that has become invaluable
to me. The organization has provided me with current and up to date critical industry information that, (as
opposed to bulletins and magazines), comes alive and is an ongoing and supportive process thru networking and
friendships of individuals across the country. I now review my career in terms of "before NARA" and "after
NARA" as it seems I was operating in "black and white" before NARA and now can look forward to the future in
color."
...Gregg J. Altobella, MS CCC-SLP, President, The Comprehensive Group

"NARA has been a tremendous positive force in my professional career. As an Occupational Therapist in
management and consulting, I have grown up with this organization (20+ years) as NARA continually adds
valuable knowledge to my repertoire from a legislative, administrative and clinical perspective, that has fostered
a foundation unsurpassed to any other organization that I belong to. NARA provides access to tremendous
professional resources that are just a phone call away on any rehabilitation issue at hand. This organization
functions on its inherent networking environment that opens its arms to all who participate, sharing information
to further the business and professional development of any organization."
...Melissa S. Cohn, OTR/L, FAOTA, President/CEO, Dynamic Group

"NARA is the rehab industry's best kept secret. Since joining NARA 10 years ago, my company has quadrupled in
size. I owe its current success to the valuable information I get from NARA at our conferences, through timely
communications via e-mail and web, through its incredible lobbyist, George Olsen, who is dedicated to the
interests of rehab businesses, and through the valuable network of colleagues and friends. NARA is my rehab
family. No other organization focuses on rehab business owner's needs and interest in quite the same way."
...Sandye Lerner, CEO, The Comprehensive Group.
