FORT SMITH, Ark., December 13, 2005 -- When asked which rehabilitation services company made the biggest impact on their work lives over the past 25 years, readers of McKnight's Long-Term Care News named Aegis Therapies as a top choice.
The magazine's Readers' Choice Awards, presented in 12 categories, recognize companies whose outstanding products and services make a real difference in the care provided to the nation's frail and elderly.
The award competition celebrates the publication's 25th anniversary. No prompting or choices were offered to voters who each wrote in his or her own answers based on personal knowledge and experience.
