Amy Harrington, PT
Department: Physical Therapy
Putting Patients First
Why did you chose Island Health?
I chose Island Health 20 years ago because they prioritize the quality time with therapist and patient, allowing for 1-to-1 patient care.
What do you love about your field of work?
I love supporting and encouraging my patients on their journey to health and wellness. While pursuing my degree in physical therapy, I discovered a passion for specializing in pelvic health. With this specialization, I am able to work with pregnant and postpartum mothers, helping to restore their pelvic floor after childbirth I also get to teach classes to the community for people of all ages to learn ways they can restore their pelvic health.
Sum up your job in one sentence:
I love my job because I help people improve their movement, manage their pain and improve their ability to engage in activities they enjoy.
How does Island Health foster a supportive and positive work environment?
The Physical Therapy department at Island Health cultivates a supportive team atmosphere where collaboration and mutual respect thrive.
How would you describe the teamwork and collaboration among colleagues here?
I love the team of therapists I get to work with at Island Health. Every single one of them puts patients first and provides a high standard of care.
What do you like about living in the Pacific Northwest?
I love the outdoor activities the Pacific Northwest has to offer. I’m a big hiking enthusiast and I love to get out and explore the beautiful mountain trails.
