Kim’s dedication to community-based rehabilitation has earned her the 2023 Doctors of BC Excellence in Health Promotion Award, recognizing her leadership and innovative approach to care.

Kim’s Story – At the age of 14, Kim sustained her first significant sports injury that left her limping. Her neighbour suggested she see her physiotherapist. When Kim experienced treatment and learned about the intimate knowledge of human anatomy and physiology that a physiotherapist has and how they help people return to doing the things they love, she was hooked. She knew then and there that she would be a physiotherapist when she grew up. After establishing her career within the hospital system, she realized the gap in care between discharge home and being able-bodied enough to attend a clinic for rehabilitation. She started Physio2U in 2012 to help fill this gap and has developed expertise in senior care, post-surgery and helping victims of orthopedic trauma. Kim is also an experienced health care advocate and assists individuals and family members with the transition from living at home and moving to long-term care.
