CHHS Alumni Spotlight: Lauren Hall🐎

Meet Lauren Hall, the owner and occupational therapist at Stable Foundations Therapy. Lauren earned both her undergraduate and graduate degrees from CHHS, in 2014 and 2018 respectively. Today, she balances running her own practice and treating patients with managing a ranch and raising a family. Her advice to current students is this: Fieldwork is the time to learn and make mistakes. Don't be afraid to try something totally left field as a student when you have mentor advice to guide you as opposed to just winging it once you are on your own.

“Let’s make something…”

So our first-year OT students made the brachial plexus.

Students turned a complex nerve network into art while learning how it supports upper extremity movement, sensation, and function. Understanding the brachial plexus helps future occupational therapists connect anatomy to the everyday activities that matter most.

💙 COMMUNITY 💙

Graduate school is much more than clinical skills, exams, and becoming a healthcare professional.

It’s finding your people.

It’s the classmates who become your biggest supporters, the friends who celebrate your successes, and the people who help you through the challenges.

The degree is the goal, but the relationships are the gift.

Here’s to the friendships, memories, and connections that make this journey so special.

From textbooks to brain hats!

Our first-year students transformed neuroanatomy review into an interactive learning experience. Sometimes the best way to learn the brain is to wear it.

Learned, laughed, and made connections all weekend long.

Our hybrid students dove into neuroanatomy and neuroscience, proving that learning is even better when you add a little fun along the way.

Hybrid weekend, let’s go!

Sometimes the best way to learn about pediatric OT is to play. Our students embraced their inner child in play lab while exploring how play helps children learn, grow, and engage in the occupations that matter most.
