Weekly Insights: Sunshine Physical Therapy Clinic

According to the US Census Bureau, 11% of people in Indian River County do not have health insurance. This means that 17,287 individuals including both children and adults may not be able to receive the health care that they require. Sunshine Physical Therapy Clinic is a non-profit, independent, outpatient rehabilitation center that provides high-level therapeutic services to individuals regardless of insurance restrictions or their ability to pay.

This organization strives to enhance the quality of life of all their patients and to offer professional services by a friendly, caring, and well-qualified staff. Sunshine Physical Therapy is the only nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization in the State of Florida that provides physical, occupational, and speech therapy to children and adults. Sunshine Physical Therapy believes in the right of human potential that should never be denied simply because of the financial status of a patient.

Weekly Insights works in conjunction with Indian River Indicators. Indian River Indicators was launched in June 2021 and originated after the completion of the 2019 Indian River Community Needs Assessment. It provides key data and information about our community that is updated annually and can be used to support and sustain proven programs. It can also be used by community leaders to develop policy, promote promising practices and inspire innovation that can lead to solutions to persistent community challenges. Indian River Community Foundation holds informational sessions on the first Tuesday of every month at 4pm via Zoom to introduce the community to this new resource. Please email Foundation Coordinator, Chiaka Nwosu at chiaka@ircommunityfoundation.org to attend a session.
