Kari Johnson
@karijohnson
Dedicated occupational therapist focused on promoting health and independence.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am an occupational therapist with extensive experience in providing services to clients with various diagnoses. My primary goal is to promote health, independence, and quality of life for my clients. I hold a Master of Science Degree in Occupational Therapy from Washington University in St. Louis and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biological Science from Colorado State University, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude.
Currently, I work at Innovage Colorado PACE, managing a caseload of over 200 participants. I coordinate with an interdisciplinary team to provide comprehensive case management for individuals with orthopedic, mental health, cognitive, and neurological diagnoses. My previous roles at Colavria Therapy Services and Infinity Rehab involved delivering occupational therapy services in skilled nursing and long-term care settings, where I focused on enhancing functional independence and wellbeing.
In addition to my clinical work, I am actively involved in community service, co-facilitating a monthly support group for caregivers of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease. My commitment to improving the lives of others drives my professional ethos and inspires me to continually seek opportunities for growth and development in the field of occupational therapy.
