Physical therapy institute opens in Harrisburg, plans eight centers this year

LHM Physical Therapy Institute (LHMPTI) opened its administrative headquarters in Harrisburg and plans to open eight clinics throughout central Pennsylvania by the end of the year. 

The company also said it has created a nonprofit hospice and social services entity. 

Luke Drayer, an outpatient rehabilitation entrepreneur, said LHMPTI will offer a comprehensive range of services. 

“I am grateful for the opportunity to again serve the outpatient physical, occupational and speech therapy needs of our area,” said Drayer, who chairs LHMPTI’s board. “I have been blessed with a fulfilling career caring for patients and am excited to see LHMPTI flourish through its core values of generosity, integrity, valued relationships and empathy – that is, our GIVE philosophy.”  

“LHMPTI is committed to providing exceptional care, giving our patients and their families an unparalleled experience and outcome,” said Craig Bouslough, LHMPTI’s CEO and co-founder. “Our therapists are industry leaders dedicated to helping their patients heal, fully embracing LHMPTI’s core values in all that they do.”  

LHMPTI’s services will include orthopedic, neurological, temporal mandibular joint and worker injury rehabilitation; fall prevention; pelvic healthcare; occupational therapy; and more. 

Drayer and Bouslough said they have also created LHM Hospice & Social Services Foundation (LHM Foundation), a nonprofit corporation that benefits from its relationship with LHMPTI. 

LHMPTI has donated space in its Harrisburg offices to LHM Foundation, as well as technological, financial and other resources necessary to create the foundation’s infrastructure. Many on LHMPTI’s leadership team also serve at the helm of the LHM Foundation.  

LHM Foundation plans to begin offering in-home hospice care in late 2023, expanding into other social services initiatives in 2024.  

 “The members of our hospice team bring decades of experience caring for patients and their families during their most vulnerable moments,” said Amy Foerster, CEO of LHM Foundation and general counsel for LHMPTI. “While we launch our hospice care, we are also reaching out to human services leaders to ensure that the other programming we offer is intentionally tailored to addressing the area’s most pressing needs.”
