Visitors to the site will have the opportunity to browse through a full range of products, each with a photo and description, right from the comfort of their own homes. The site can also serve as a resource for friends and family of patients. Often our patients will share their stories of the success of certain products, but have no way of telling them where to find them. - - Check out the store for yourself! April is National Occupational Therapy Month! Occupational therapy enables people of all ages to live life to its fullest by helping them promote health, prevent—or live better with—injury, illness, or disability. It is a practice deeply rooted in science and is evidence-based, meaning that the plan designed for each individual is supported by data, experience, and “best practices” that have been developed and proven over time. - -Read Occupational Therapy Month Therapy supplies and adaptive equipment play an important role in patients’ success Adaptive equipment allows people the opportunity to perform everyday activities more comfortably, while also saving energy and increasing independence.

I travel to all five locations to treat clients of all ages and conditions including Functional Capacity Assessments at the Coopersville location, and on-site ergonomic services at industries and work places within all of the Northern communities. Even after 26 years working as an Occupational Therapist, I find that each day at Northern presents new challenges and opportunities for growth. I appreciate Northern’s client-centered approach, and I enjoy helping each client meet their personal goals. - - Email Lyn
