Click for Kids

This month, we unveiled a new way to pick up patients, the

Click for Kids program. With it, therapists are able to filter
through all of the potential clients and select them based on
geographic location, time, discipline, and a host of other
factors.

Here are a few helpful tips to get the most

out of the program:
Use your filters first! Make sure youre only looking at kids
you can pick up.
Use the Location Finder once your filters are set. Just zooming
straight to your area doesnt allow the system to create
emails, and if you have trouble seeing the Location Finder be
sure to email your CM or tech team for assistance!
Select multiple times in your filter. Selecting Open only
displays kiddos that are open all day, not all kids. You can
select as many time slots as you want, so to see a good
number of kids displayed, go crazy with it!

Remember, for any questions or concerns, please feel free to

email your clinical manager or the Tech Team!

Therapists of
the Quarter
Bryan Muench

PT of the Quarter

Bryan Muench is very deserving of the physical

therapist of the quarter award! He has been
an integral part of helping to build our physical
therapy team in the Tyler and Longview area.
Bryan maintains a full time caseload, assists
with supervision and is always willing to drive
the extra mile to see a patient. He is a
friendly and motivating therapist who strives
to provide each patient with the best care that
he can. KidsCare Therapy is lucky to have
Bryan as a part of its team in the
Tyler/Longview area.

Jennifer
Vandeberg
OT of the Quarter
Jennifer Vandeberg has been chosen to receive
the honor of KidsCare Therapys Therapist of
the Quarter award, and I cannot think of a
more deserving person!
Ive known Jenny for many years now, having
worked together here at KidsCare since 2014,
and previously, before we were lucky enough
to find such an amazing company! Jenny is
our Austin Occupational Therapist who also
serves as our Lead Therapist for that area,
handling therapist needs when Im
unavailable.
Jenny is someone who I can rely upon
whenever and whatever it takes. No matter
how busy Jen is, she always has time and
energy to help out and take care of any need,
whether its fitting in one more evaluation, or
taking on one more patient, training a student,
supervising an assistant, or mentoring a new
therapist. Jennys motto is: We got this!
And she always does! Ive never known
anyone to work so hard, so efficiently, and to
always do so with a smile on her face.
On top of all of that, Jenny is the most
amazing Occupational Therapist! Her clients
make progress and they and their families
adore her!
It is certainly my honor and privilege to work
with Jenny and to know that I can count on
her always!
Congratulations Jennifer Vandeberg! You got
this Jen!
