“RTS is a company that truly seeks to “transform lives through therapy.” Their faith-driven value system is demonstrated in the way they support their staff and in the way they invest in and deeply care for the families we serve. I feel deeply blessed to work for this company! “
Aimee Waldrep
Lead Speech Therapist
Melissa Waganer
Lead Occupational Therapist
“I have been a pediatric occupational therapist for 20 years and love working with kids to help them be more independent, happy, and healthy! I have been married to my husband, Nathan, for 22 years and we have 2 kids, Parker and Peyton, and 2 dogs, Benelli and Jessilou. Parker just finished up his first year of college as a classical oboe performance major and Peyton is a freshman in high school. When I'm not working, I am very involved with church and volunteer in the student ministry. I also love to spend time with my family, travel, bake, garden, go camping, spend time at the lake, and do pretty much anything outside!
I love working for RTS and love how it provides me the opportunity to share the love of Jesus with kids while working to help them achieve their therapeutic goals. RTS allows me to be the hands and feet of Jesus while serving the kids in the NWA community!”
Taylor Putnam
Lead Physical Therapist
“I have been with Regional Therapy Services since 2021 and have never been more thankful for such a supportive community to be a part of. RTS has allowed me to have a great work-life balance due to the flexible scheduling.
I love doing everything from the cranio-sacral protocol to chalk obstacle courses outside with my kiddos.
At home, my husband and I enjoy working in the yard, riding our bikes, and taking care of our dog (Juniper) and ducks (Truffle and Nugget).”
