Anouk Kincaid, Missy Orton-Combs and Michelle Raymond, therapists at Family Health West in Fruita, received national recognition for their efforts to support communication, mobility and participation in activities for children.

The National Joint Committee for the Communicative Needs of Persons with Severe Disabilities presented the McLean Yoder Award for Professional Excellence to the pediatric rehabilitation program at Family Health West.Kincaid, a physical therapist; Orton-Combs, an occupational therapist; and Raymond, a speech language pathologist, work in the program.

“Receiving national recognition is not why our therapists do what they do. They are improving the lives of children because it’s the core of who they are,” said Dr. Korrey Klein, chief executive officer at Family Health West. “Their heart and passion for promoting the individual growth and development in disabled children is a calling, and we are grateful to have such a robust pediatric rehabilitation program here at Family Health West.”
