Physical Therapist joins Mercy Medical Center

Daily Iowegian

CENTERVILLE — Amanda Dunlay, D.P.T. has joined the Mercy Rehabilitation Services as a staff physical therapist.  She joins fellow therapist Leba Wiskus and a team of physical therapy assistants.

Dunlay received a doctor in physical therapy from the Des Moines University Osteopathic Medical Center in 2009.  Originally from Yakima, Washington, Dunlay wanted to travel and began her career with Delta Flex Travelers in Dallas, TX who provide physical therapy services to facilities all over the country which is how she was introduced to Mercy in Centerville.

When an opportunity came up for second therapist, Dunlay was interested. “I fell in love with the area and the Lake.  I also really like the interpersonal relationships with the physicians and nurses who are all very approachable,” she said.

As a relatively new therapist, Dunlay also likes seeing the variety of cases she is experiencing at the local hospital where she is very busy providing treatment to inpatients, outpatients and home care patients.  “I am working with everything from spinal cord injuries, and pediatrics to wound care and sports injuries, many opportunities I may not have at a larger facility,” she added.

Prior to coming to Centerville, she had clinical experience at Van Buren County Hospital, Trinity Medical Center in Rock Island, Marshalltown Medical Surgical Center and Yakima Regional Hospital in Yakima, Washington.

Describing herself as liking anything outdoors, Dunlay likes to hunt, run, bike and participate in sports.

This week the Iowegian wants readers to think about the recent decision by the Centerville Municipal Waterworks Board of Directors to increase the fee for late payment of water bills. In a story published in Wednesday's Ad Express, board members announced a 10 percent late fee after two days late, a $50 red tag fee for accounts unpaid after seven days late and a $25 shut off fee, water service terminated after two weeks late. The board said the decision to increase the fees associated with late payment is to encourage customers to pay their bills on time. So, the question this week is, "Are these fees too much to ask for?"

A. Yes, they are.
B. No, they are not.
C. I'm not affected so I don't care.
