About the Neuro Team
Neuro News comes from the HARTZ Neuro Rehabilitation Team at our Lancaster West clinic.
Hi! I’m Emily, the Neuro Occupational Therapist at HARTZ, based out of our Lancaster West office alongside our Neuro Physical Therapy team. I joined HARTZ in the summer of 2025 and have been an occupational therapist since 2021. My background in inpatient rehabilitation gave me a strong foundation and passion for working with individuals with various neurological conditions. I’m a Parkinson’s Wellness Recovery (PWR!) Certified Therapist and also have experience working with individuals with limb loss and limb differences. I’m passionate about making therapy fun, functional, and meaningful — with a goal of helping everyone achieve greater independence and confidence in the activities that matter most to them.
Hello! I’m Jamie — one of our Neuro PTs at our Lancaster West location. I’ve been with HARTZ for almost 2 years, and I’ve been working with the neuro population since 2022. I not only love working with patients and families with neurological conditions, but also those who have experienced amputations and are learning to use their prosthetic limbs. I love helping bridge the gap for patients and families with education and training while navigating a new diagnosis.
Hello! I’m Kailey — one of our two Neuro PTs at our Lancaster West clinic. I’ve been with HARTZ for over a year and a half, and I’ve worked in outpatient neuro PT for the past 5 years. I have a strong passion for working with our neurological and vestibular populations. I love using evidence-based practices and certifications, like High Intensity Gait Training and PWR! Moves, to challenge our patients and add some fun along the way. Setting rehab goals and working together to achieve them is incredibly rewarding — we get to witness resilience, celebrate milestones, and help people regain their independence and confidence every day.
Hello! My name is Peter, and I’m the PTA on the Neuro Rehabilitation team at HARTZ Lancaster West. While I’ve been with HARTZ for just shy of a year, I’ve worked in the outpatient neuro/ortho setting since 2020. I have a very strong passion for working with the neuro population, particularly those with Parkinson’s disease. It’s so rewarding to see the joy in a patient when they accomplish a task that’s been challenging for so long. I’m looking forward to expanding my knowledge in neurological physical therapy and helping our patients achieve their goals!
