My time working with Joann Prekezes has been the best experience I could ask for. She has helped me work through a painful wrist break and begin to regain strength in my arm. She has a wealth of knowledge and is always encouraging and reassuring. I always leave my OT sessions feeling better, both physically and emotionally. Than you, NW, for developing an excellent therapy department.

She is marvelous! She is always trying to find ways to help you and gives resources to strengthen your hands and prevent the arthritis to deform your fingers even more.

After my first visit, I left with such a joyful heart. Not only did she encourage me greatly to give me hope, she gave me tools and exercises and photocopies that I could put into practice that same day. Her countenance is bright and her wisdom is off the charts

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
