Special People Installment 2/3

Gayle Benson has been a faithful employee of UAB hospital 39 years! It was her first job out of PT school starting at $9800/year salary. Her first task to work on with the OTs was smoking splints for the spinal cord patients. She has seen quite the changes in technology, reimbursements in healthcare, skill level of therapists grow and UAB grow. I started halfway through her career in 1996 and have worked with her in some capacity most of these last 18-19 years. She has worked many of those years as the only one in Alabama doing custom wheelchair evaluations and started the clinic I now continue. Thank you is not strong enough to say for the example of commitment, perseverance, integrity, honesty, leadership and dedication she has shown me in how she has worked. She has been my direct manager for the last 10 years and I say "Hats Off" and God Bless you Gayle in your retirement!
