Introduction for Physical Therapy as a Ministry:
Throughout my four years at Saint Louis University and in the Physical Therapy Program, I have had the privilege to explore not only what it means to “be a woman for and with others”, but do so within the context of physical therapy. I have been given the freedom and experience to explore my own passions and gifts and to share them with my classmates, professors, friends, and everyone I have encountered. This presentation will take you on a journey through the connections I have made between my future career as a physical therapist and my personal call to be a woman of faith and justice.

Saint Louis University Program in Physical Therapy Mission Statement:
The mission of the Saint Louis University Program in Physical Therapy is built on traditions of Jesuit education to develop the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. This community seeks to prepare doctors of physical therapy who strive for excellence in providing person-centered care that is ethical, culturally competent and evidence-based and models interprofessional collaboration. We participate in scholarly and clinical endeavors to advance physical therapy practice and research. We are committed to personal and professional development and strive to make a difference in the lives of individuals, in the profession and in the community at large.

Saint Louis University Dance Marathon Presentation:
  
Kristen Bartheld and Rachel Grimmer’s presentation focused on the foundation of Saitn Louis University’s Dance Marathon (SLUDM). The founding of this organization was done by Bartheld and Grimmer themselves in an effort to raise awareness and funds for Children’s Miracle Network of Greater St. Louis, which aides St. Louis Children’s Hospital and SSM Cardinal Glennon Childresn’ Medical Center. The SLUDM Executive Board planned family and fundraising events, while promoting and organizing the inaugural 12-hour Dance Marathon. As the premier event of 2011, Dance Marathon’s success culminated with over 300 participants whose fundraising efforts surpassed $30,000. SLUDM continues to provide students with an opportunity for leadership development and insight into the pediatric care and needs of St. Louis.
