Employee Spotlight: Sarah Hanson
Tell me a little about yourself and your role at Lowcountry Therapy. How long have your worked at LT?
I moved here from Wisconsin 12 years ago. We planted ourselves in the Lowcountry and now have 3 boys - Henry (6), Fred (4), Kenny (1). I’ve worked here 9 years. I’ve been working since the doors opened. I was brought on as a clinical lead but since we’ve grown, they have added more leads for each discipline. I am a speech therapy lead.
3 Ice Breakers:

I would play the French horn. I’ve been playing since I was in the sixth grade. I play the French horn in the Savannah Wind Ensemble at Georgia Southern.

Throughout the week I treat approximately ten to fifteen patients. When I am not treating I am performing lead duties which include scheduling, mentorship, and on-boarding new therapists.

It is difficult to balance scheduling, lead duties, and mentorship with treatment and paperwork, but I love it all!
