In 2023, Melissa completed her Certified Aging in Place Specialists certification (CAPS) through the National Home Builders Association to better serve clients and families on improving safety and functionality within their home environment.

She joined the OPTAH team in March 2024 after recognizing that there is a great need for patients to continue therapy after discharge from home care. Melissa strives to help patients continue to build and maintain strength and mobility to keep their independence for as long as possible.
