CRYSTAL MANSFIELD JOINS GRACE COTTAGE REHAB DEPARTMENT

Occupational Therapist Crystal Mansfield, who joined the Grace Cottage Rehabilitation Department last fall, is offering a new service at Grace Cottage, based on her extensive background in hand therapy.

“We use our hands for just about everything that we do,” said Crystal. “When someone has experienced a hand injury, or has arthritis, even if it’s the non-dominant hand that’s involved, it can be very debilitating. I enjoy working with patients to help them regain their hand function, so that they can better use their hands for all the activities they enjoy.” A native of Brattleboro, Mansfield graduated from Eastern Kentucky University in 1988 with a degree in occupational therapy. She then worked as an occupational therapist in New York and Michigan, before returning to Vermont where she worked at Copley Hospital in Morrisville for 14 years, under the direction of three orthopedic surgeons. Welcome, Crystal!
