TRUMANN, AR (KAIT) - A ribbon cutting ceremony
took place in downtown Trumann on Wednesday to celebrate the official opening of the NEA Baptist Clinic Physical Therapy's
newest location.
Mayor of Trumann, Sheila Walters, says there's a
definite need in the area. "There is a big need here," Walters said.
"Because different surrounding areas have to come in to provide the
service. So, this is an expansion that will help our city."
Director of Physical Therapy at NEA Baptist
Clinic, Jeff Ramsey, says their staff is ready to get to work.
"We've been working on this for
months," Ramsey said. "It's been a lot of strategy, a lot of
planning going on, but we're finally here. It's a big relief and we're
excited and ready to go. We are here to let this community know that
we're here to support them and that we're going to take care of their physical
needs."
Physical Therapists at the NEA Baptist Clinic
will be working with those in need on such things as neck, back, joint or
muscle pain.
They will also work with pain in the arm or leg
associated with nerve entrapment.
Walters says this is going to mean a lot to the
area. "I think it's wonderful to have a clinic here," Walters said.
"To have physical therapy available to the residents in our city.
I happen to be a nurse. So, I'm a little bit familiar with physical
therapy and medical equipment and the way it works and having more
opportunities locally, it just makes our community feel better knowing its
right here at hand."
Ramsey says they want to help the public deal
with any pain or limitations they might be suffering from.
"We're going to provide you with some
quality care here," Ramsey said. "We're going to address your
pain and all they symptoms that you have. We're going to get you back to
doing things the way you would like."
