Meet our new Rehabilitation Director, Leslie Miller!
I am Leslie Miller, a Physical Therapist Assistant from here in Greeneville. I am originally from a small town in Virginia where I was born and raised. I graduated from Wytheville Community College in 2003 with my associate in applied science as a Physical Therapist Assistant. I have worked in multiple settings in my 21 years including acute care, pediatrics, home health, and have spent the last 16 years in the skilled nursing industry. I transplanted to Tennessee for work after college.
In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and any new adventures. I have one very spoiled four-legged “fur” child, Kennedy. I love to read and spend time outdoors.
I am so excited to be a part of the team at Durham-Hensley Rehabilitation. “Geriatrics is where my heart is and taking care of this population is my passion in my career. Making a difference in their everyday lives is what makes my heart the happiest.”
