In 1985 Marilyn Rosee and Lisa Davis had an idea. Both were working together as occupational therapy consultants to a group of nursing homes. They decided to try hiring therapists to work directly for them, filling the positions they were being offered with their own providers. They thought their chances for success were limited, but they decided to try as there was nothing to lose.Before this turn of events, Lisa was serving as Director of Occupational Therapy at Daughters of Jacob Geriatric Center in New York. Marilyn was a Senior Therapist at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City. While attending New York University pursuing a Master of Public Administration in Health Administration, Marilyn got the notion to go into independent practice. For a few years she was searching for a niche, a viable business idea where her talents as an occupational therapist could be utilized. When the opportunity materialized for Lisa and Marilyn to team up, they both jumped at it.Through it all, Marilyn and Lisa have maintained their status as "working therapists" by managing occupational therapy departments in long term care and pediatric facilities. Additionally, they have taught in occupational therapy programs, serving as Adjunct Professors at New York University, Long Island University, Touro College, New York Institute of Technology and LaGuardia Community College. They have lectured at many seminars over the years on topics relating to private practice and long term care management and served the local NYS Occupational Therapy District as Board Members and Co-Chairs of the Geriatric Special Interest Group and the Continuing Education Committee.Specialties: Specializing in the placement of:Occupational Therapists and Occupational Therapy AssistantsPhysical Therapists and Physical Therapy AssistantsSpeech Language PathologistsSpecial EducatorsCutting Edge Professional Continuing Education (for CEUs)Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Therapy Management
