Her approach to hand therapy involves integrating each individual’s medical and emotional needs into their treatment plans to optimize outcomes and overall patient well-being.
Ms. TenNapel’s early career included working on the Spinal Cord Team at University of Minnesota Hospital and as the acute inpatient rehab coordinator for the Regions Hospital Level 1 burn center in St. Paul.
