2005

Kim Meek - President: I am a physical therapist by trade who has been a board member for four years.  While I work at Central Washington Hospital and my professional focus is adult care, I have always had a passion for pediatric therapy.  During my physical therapy education I did an internship at Shriner’s Children’s hospital in Portland Oregon.  Since then, I have been a firm believer in early intervention and in providing quality services to children with disabilities.  I also believe we play a key role in supporting families and in educating our community.  It is essential to have quality services in Wenatchee that can augment the services some families receive at the large specialty centers.  I have been a resident of Wenatchee for six years and have fallen in love with the recreation and the community that this area offers.  My son and I now proudly call Wenatchee home.  As a board member for the past few years, I have seen the need for birth to three therapy services grow exponentially as our community continues to grow.  I am excited to be part of the team as we prepare to move the Pediatric Therapy into the future.

She is married to an occupational therapist and they have three young children. Since both her professional and personal experiences have involved assisting special needs children achieve there highest potential she feels strongly about the need for the PTC to succeed in this community.  When not working or taking care of her children she loves all that Wenatchee has to offer including skiing, biking, camping and hiking.

Ted Fukuzawa: I’m a life long resident of Chelan County and have lived in the valley (Cashmere) for over 36 years.  I am currently employed with Banner Bank as a Commercial Loan Officer.  I’ve been blessed to have two wonderful children, a daughter and a son.  My son actually received Occupational and Motor & Sensory Integration services from the Pediatric Therapy Center (PTC), which was then called Cerebral Palsy of Wenatchee.  This service was vital in his development, and now I want to give something back to Center and the community by being involved as a Board Member.  I have served on the PTC board for just over a year.  The PTC provides a vital service to those children (birth to three) who are delayed in development, and we are very fortunate to have these services available within this community we call home.
