LIFE St. Mary

What if health care felt more personal?
What if transportation to appointments was already arranged?
What if your care team worked together and knew your goals, your needs, and what matters most to you?

That's what LIFE is all about.

From medical care and medications to rehabilitation, social activities, meals, and transportation, we bring services together to support the whole person, not just their health.

Because living independently shouldn't mean doing it alone.

Throughout Physical Therapy Month, we're recognizing the incredible members of our rehabilitation team whose dedication helps LIFE participants stay active, safe, and independent.
Meet Fernanda De Gallego, our wonderful Rehabilitation Aide (Who is also a PT in Columbia)
How many years have you been a PT? 13 years.
Favorite part of working in PACE? Being part of large organization that is always doing it’s best to provide the highest quality of life for people when they need it most, especially as they get older. I truly love the team and values that the company represents, as well as all my coworkers. I would really like to grow within this company and continue developing professionally.
"Why I became a PT"? - I studied Physical therapy in Colombia because I have always loved the opportunity to help people regain their highest level of function and independence. I really enjoy being part of a person’s rehabilitation process, and love that physical therapy allows us to have close, direct contact with patients while supporting them throughout their recovery process.
What's something on your bucket list? To become a licensed Physical therapist in Pennsylvania, become a specialist in neurological rehabilitation, and buy my own home with a large yard, lots of trees, and plenty of nature.
What's a fun fact about you that most people don't know? I love drinking hot chocolate with mozzarella cheese inside it in the morning.
What's one thing you wish everyone knew about physical therapy? Physical therapy has taught me that you will meet people with a level of resilience greater than you could never imagine.
