HOISINGTON – Clara Barton Medical Center announced this week that Natalie Bieberle, DPT, has been promoted to the position of director of therapy services. Bieberle has been a practicing physical therapist since 2016 and has been an employee with Clara Barton for nearly four years.
A local native, Bieberle grew up in Claflin. She attended Kansas State University where she received her bachelor of science in kinesiology and continued her education at the University of Kansas Medical Center, completing her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2016.
After graduating, both she and her husband, Taylor Bieberle, PA-C, worked at Norton County Hospital for two years before moving back to their hometown community of Claflin.
“It is very rewarding to be a part of the Clara Barton family,” said Bieberle. “The teamwork and progressive mindset are what drew me to work here and is what pushes me to continue to challenge and motivate others to strive for higher standards. I am excited to take on the role of Director of Therapy Services in addition to continuing with patient care.”
Bieberle’s goal as the new director of therapy services is to continue the mission of the organization and preserve the reputation that Clara Barton Therapy Services has developed. She works alongside therapists Alesia Schneweis, Tamara Dody, Danelle Leiker, Betsy Snell and Halle Knigge; PTAs Sheri Espinosa, Samantha Roddey, Shelby Frickel and Trevor Lowe; and COTAs Hillary Cory and Allie Hipp, providing excellent patient care and services that best support the community.
“Therapy Services has a bright future; the sky is the limit,” said Bieberle. “I am proud to be surrounded by a great team of skilled therapists that work hard each and every day.”
In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her kids, husband, and family, being outdoors, and cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs.
“I am very proud of the fine group of dedicated professionals that staff our therapy department,” said Jim Blackwell, Clara Barton Medical Center president/CEO. “Natalie’s dedication represents the kind of integrity and work ethic that will truly make this department shine. A trademark that my friend Mark Blackwell, retired CBH therapist, incorporated into this reputable department, and every Physical Therapist he trained here.
“I look forward to seeing her advance that patient care model which will ultimately expand the care you receive here. Her infectious, positive attitude is a great continuation of our leadership style today,” he said.
