SLU PT Clinical Site Spotlight - Jacksonville Memorial Hospital, Jacksonville, Illinois

By Emelia Baer (Class of 2022)

Passavant was an absolutely amazing place to learn and grow as a physical therapist. The entire rehab team and my Clinical Instructor & SLU Alumni, Kayla Vickers, PT, DPT, were very kind and welcoming throughout my clinical experience. I also got the chance to work with such a wide variety of patients and conditions throughout my time. Thank you so much for helping me develop as a physical therapist! You were so amazing at increasing my knowledge, improving my clinical reasoning, and pushing me to grow in my confidence as I worked with patients. You embodied patient-centered care throughout your practice. You are a role model for exactly the type of PT I hope to be in the future!
