Campbell County Health is proud of its employees, and we want the CCH family
and the Campbell County, Wyoming community to know about the good work
that they do for this organization.
Allow us to introduce
Tisha Foster Carlson, PT, DPT, WCC, who works as a physical therapist at CCH
Rehabilitation Services in Gillette, Wyoming. Tisha has been with CCH for 12 years. She earned
her bachelor’s in science in exercise and sport science from
Colorado State University and her masters and doctorate degrees in physical therapy from
Regis University.
Tisha’s love for science initially inspired her to explore health
care in college. “I was a medication aide in an assisted living
facility for patients with dementia prior to physical therapy school in
Denver, Colo. That experience made a great impact on me. I developed a
love for working with elderly patients,” she says. “As I learned
more about different majors, I found that physical therapy was a perfect
fit.”
Tisha calls her health care hero her grandfather, who was, “a gentle,
wonderful man. He took amazing care of my grandmother after she suffered
a stroke, which left her paralyzed for many years. Looking back, he had
a big impact on my expectations of caring for others.”
When Tisha isn’t at work, she loves spending time with her husband
and three children camping, skiing and traveling to their sporting events.
We asked Tisha what she likes most about working for CCH, and what excellence
every day means to her. Check out her response:
“Several years ago I became the full-time physical therapist in outpatient
wound care after becoming wound care certified (WCC). I have learned a
great deal about healing wounds. I have also developed productive relationships
with other providers through wound care. I take great pride in my work
and assisting patient’s with wound healing to improve their quality of life.
To me, excellence every day means that I am obligated to provide excellent
care to every patient in every situation. Even when life is hectic or
the situation is chaotic, each patient should receive my undivided attention.”
Thank you, Tisha for providing our patients with such wonderful care. We
appreciate you.
