Meet Heather Simpson, OTD, OTR/L

Meet Heather Simpson, OTD, OTR/L, an occupational therapist at the Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases at UF Health.
Simpson wears many hats at Fixel: she works in the rehab department training patients, serves as clinical coordinator for the Tourette’s Center of Excellence and co-coordinator for the Parkinson’s Center of Excellence.
Her favorite part about her job is the people that she gets to interact with.
“I love the patients, I love the opportunity to serve others, but I also really enjoy the staff here at Fixel. I’m able to meet a whole bunch of different people that I wouldn’t normally get to if I was in just one area of the hospital,” Simpson said.
The Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases at UF Health believes that the best care and treatment for neurological disorders is personalized to the needs of each patient.
When patients visit the Fixel Institute, they can have appointments to not only see their neurologist but also receive physical therapy, occupational therapy, nutritional guidance and more - all in one central location.
Bringing all these specialties together makes the Fixel Institute the best place to take your loved one for care and treatment of Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, Tourette syndrome and tic disorders, ALS, MS, traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer’s disease and more.
