Dankmeyer has a long tradition of introducing high school and college students to prosthetics and orthotics through work and study in various short term summer programs. As you can well imagine, some of our team members have children in this age group who might be wondering what is going on in an orthotics and prosthetics office. We enjoy teaching them what we do, so they can better understand mobility impairment, the issues faced by our patients, how devices are fabricated and worn, and how an office such as ours is run.
This summer, we welcome to the Cumberland area office Kayla Iman. Kayla is Patient Services Representative Heather Iman’s daughter. Heather has been working in the Cumberland office for five years and is now giving Kayla a close up look at what patient administration looks like. Kayla writes this:
My name is Kayla Iman and I am a recent high school graduate. In the fall, I will be attending Allegany College of Maryland seeking a degree in Massage Therapy as well as attending the Bedford County Tech Center’s Cosmetology program to complete my hours to become a licensed Cosmetologist. For the summer, I am answering the phones and scheduling patients for Dankmeyer from their Cumberland office location. I am excited to be part of the Dankmeyer Team and look forward to meeting everyone in person and via phone! I am grateful for the opportunity to learn about orthotics and prosthetics and cannot wait to see what the summer brings.
So if you call the office and hear a new voice, it might be Kayla’s - or she might be on the other end of the line with a confirmation call, or making an appointment. Welcome, Kayla!
