A Hidden Gem Among Our Midst

By: Dr. Jim Burnett   The gem I speak of is the Physical Therapy department at NHC (National HealthCare Corporation) Healthcare Somerville. Recently, I had back surgery due to a ruptured disc. Due to the closeness of my home and my knowledge when I had patients there, I chose NHC. I always thought it would be adequate, but they have proved to me to be exceptional!
