Founder's Message

I'm delighted to share our story with you. On July 11, 1977, God answered my prayer and created an opportunity for me, as a physical therapist, to practice "on my own" in an environment where He could use me to instill hope and joy into each patient's treatments. In the beginning I called the company MJ Therapy Services. I employed only one associate, a full-time therapy aide. We worked at a large skilled nursing facility on the east side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We have grown to service facilities across Wisconsin and the country and are now also recognized as a Woman Business Enterprise. Through the years, it became obvious to me that I loved working with people and projects more than I loved hands-on treatment. I felt God could use me more if I worked through people, not on people.

Today, as I reflect on what He has done, I stand in awe at how He is unfolding new opportunities, expanding our territory and blessing our associates. I give Him all the credit for who we are and what we stand for - honoring Him in all we do.

Warmly,

Mary Van Lare, PT
Founder, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer
