College of Public Health

Greetings from the College of Public Health! Summer is in full swing, but fall will be here before you know it. Get a jump on your fall planning and keep these upcoming events in mind:

+ Physical Therapy Students Take Charge!

A group of physical therapy students, inspired by President Theobald’s call to action to make a difference, have embarked on the journey to open the North Broad Physical Therapy Center (NBPTC), a pro bono clinic that seeks to provide physical therapy services to the citizens of North Philadelphia.

APHA | American Public Health Association | For science, for action, for health

You can help make this dream a reality by giving your time as a licensed clinical supervisor or money to purchase needed supplies, donating new and gently used equipment, and becoming an NBPTC ambassador who spreads the word about this very important endeavor.

As the NBPTC grows, students from across the College of Public Health and Temple will be able to learn and serve in this dynamic space.

Are you ready to take charge? Join us for an info session to learn more about the North Broad Physical Therapy Center on Wednesday, August 26, from 6–8 p.m. at the Diamond Club. RSVP by August 24 to Star Hamilton at star.hamilton@temple.edu.

For more information about the clinic and how you can help, contact Dr. Mary Sinnott, NBPTC faculty advisor, at mary.sinnott@temple.edu.
