The field of occupational therapy had never occurred to Roseville resident Brandy Cosgrove, occupational therapist (OT) at Sutter Rehabilitation Institute. Instead, she pursued studies to become a physical therapist.  She became interested in this line of work as a teenager in high school after a friend’s father had accidentally fallen off a roof and became paralyzed.  Cosgrove saw first-hand how the therapists interacted with the father and the family.

During her studies she job shadowed an OT and fell in love with this profession. She quickly changed from physical therapy to occupational therapy in order to work with patients who had been injured or had suffered a debilitating illness.
