Acquiring & developing professional skills in order to provide the best possible care to clients is a top priority for Sumita. She has pursued a variety of further physiotherapy education and participates in initiatives to promote greater access to physiotherapy & exercise therapy in rural Saskatchewan. Having grown up in countries where health care was limited & not available to a large portion of the population, Sumita recognizes the challenges of healthcare in a rural setting – especially those facing mobility challenges due to an injury or neurological condition.
Sumita believes that community involvement, both personally & professionally, is the only way to create positive change in society. As a result, she has provided physiotherapy coverage for local sports events and education to collaborate with other health care professionals & community members in Yorkton.
