    Congratulations, Alana and the whole Spark team! As a fellow SLP and practice owner, I’m always especially happy to see an SLP-led rehabilitation team recognized. Building and growing a team around a shared approach takes a huge amount of work, and it’s wonderful to see what you’ve created.

    Reaching people outside of the major centres takes creativity, flexibility, and a real willingness to build care around the realities of where people live and their real-life goals and values – something we’re both passionate about!

    It’s wonderful to see an SLP-led team helping expand what access can look like across the North. Well deserved!
