Equal Access Clinic Volunteer Clinician Appreciation

Thank you to our physical therapy volunteers, clinicians, and faculty staff for generously donating their time and knowledge to the Gainesville community. Each week our clinicians utilize their practice and talents to treat patients without insurance coverage, and they mentor our student physical therapists who are developing their clinical skills. Our Physical Therapy Equal Access clinicians create unique opportunities for growth and development for our students and add immense value to the patient experience.

The clinicians and faculty listed below are organized according to how many times they have participated, starting with the most active volunteer. Thank you for all the time and effort you all put into the PT EAC!
