I am grateful to receive this designation, but it wouldn’t have been possible without the remarkable therapists and staff who make up Fox Rehabilitation.

In the sixth annual contest, the editors looked for “the names and faces that are advancing the therapy field, whether setting milestones in research and medical-study advancement, taking on and revamping leadership roles in therapeutic arenas, making significant changes in legislation, or making advances in researching, treating and preventing debilitating conditions.” Tim Fox was cited for his leadership in developing a way, under Medicare Part B, to provide therapy for geriatric patients in their homes, assisted living facilities, and adult day care centers.
