| As Lyndsey Crosbie approached graduation from Wayne State’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program, she was optimistic about landing a job. Then came COVID-19 and PT clinics closed. But this ended up being a better scenario than Crosbie could have imagined. It gave her time and space to move into a new house with her husband Stephen, welcome daughter Emmalea to the world, and become a grassroots advocate for her industry through the Michigan chapter of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). |  |
