Vallie Rogers-Hoerning, physical therapist and clinic manager of Physical Therapy Specialists Clinic in Mountain Grove, received the Outstanding Service Award for her
contributions in the area of Patient Care from the Missouri Physical Therapy Association (MPTA) at the 2010 MPTA Spring Conference on Saturday, April 17th in St. Louis, MO.
The award honors contributions of an outstanding MPTA member who has consistently provided quality physical therapy services.

John Paul Miller, West Plains Clinic Manager for PTSC, presented the award to Rogers-Hoerning, stating, “As her coworker I have had the opportunity to
work with Vallie for eight years and see first-hand her desire to be the best and push everyone else to be their best.”

“I have been passionate over the years about being a better physical therapist, a resource for people and bringing quality rehab to rural southern Missouri,”
said Rogers-Hoerning after receiving the award. “Thanks to Mary Sheid and PTSC for giving me the opportunity to return to my hometown of Mountain Grove to help
develop the clinic and educate the community and area health care providers about the physical therapy profession and what we are capable of in the healthcare world.
I could tell you a lot of stories about how we have impacted people’s lives by having facilities in Mountain Grove and West Plains; it has been
an awarding experience for me personally and professionally.”

David Barbe, MD, wrote a letter of support for Rogers-Hoernings’ nomination stating, “I can’t think of another consultant that I use who generates as many positive
comments from the patients we have in common. You can tell from the interactions she has with her patients that she not only loves her practice but takes great
satisfaction in providing the highest quality of services to her patients.”

The honor of being selected by her peers in the profession throughout the state of Missouri speaks volumes of the exceptional care and leadership
that Rogers-Hoerning has shown. Since the inception of the Patient Care award in 1980, only 16 individuals in MO have had the honor of being a recipient.
