Tara Peet, Registered Rehab Assistant

Always leading a very active lifestyle Tara knew she wanted a job that would keep her moving!

Tara has been working as a rehabilitation assistant since graduating in 2005 from West Coast College of Health Care. Since then she has been working full time in the Fraser valley. She started her career at MSA Hospital in Abbotsford where she got the opportunity to work in a variety of acute care settings. After about a year she made a move to work at Chilliwack Hospital to be on the rehabilitation floor. There she was able to work with a large amount of different conditions. From strokes to amputations she loved getting to spend her time with individual patients helping them get more independent so there could return home. After a couple of years there Tara decided to leave Chilliwack to return to Abbotsford Hospital. Since then she has worked full time on an acute medical floor.

About a year ago Tara was offered the opportunity to join the PhysiGo team. She gladly accepted and now works part time at Menno Hospital. Tara enjoys the one on one time she gets to spend with her clients at Menno.
