Welcome Cindi Petito, Our New Director of Clinical Networks!

We are thrilled to introduce the newest member of the U.S. Rehab team, Cindi Petito, who will be joining us as the Director of Clinical Networks. Cindi brings a wealth of experience and expertise to our organization, and we are excited about the contributions she will make to our ongoing projects and initiatives.

Cindi Petito

Cindi has practiced as an occupational therapist for 29 years in multiple healthcare settings, treating individuals with traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, progressive neurodegenerative diseases, amputees, and aging adults. Since becoming an ATP in 2001, she has gained extensive experience in the industry of complex rehab technologies (CRT) and home accessibility. Cindi is well-versed in navigating the complex landscape of funding sources and has a deep understanding of the intricate process of providing client services under Medicare, Medicaid, managed care organizations, the Veterans Administration (V.A.), state-funded agencies, and workers' compensation.

In her new role, Cindi will be working on various projects that will draw us closer to some strategic clinical partners across the U.S. She will also be focusing on further educational programs for our members and bridging the gap between complex rehab technology and home accessibility. Her extensive background and dedication to improving patient outcomes make her an invaluable addition to our team.
