Keith Hester is a physical therapy technician at Melanie Massey Physical Therapy, where he works with children to overcome seemingly impossible odds on the road to self-sufficiency. While he works with clients, Keith thinks up ideas for special devices or equipment for kids who need help making movement easier. He comes in on the nights and weekends to build it.
After becoming a resource and friend to so many children, parents know Keith’s cell phone number by heart and often call for help navigating the complexities of raising a child with special needs.
Keith’s work has given him a passion helping children with disabilities become self-sufficient, and is supporting the West Monroe Civitans Club in their efforts to build the Smile Park – a park where children of every level of physical ability can play together.
