When Dr. Kirby Mayer was young, he saw the way physical therapists helped his grandmother, who was suffering from Alzheimer’s. Now, after earning a PT degree himself, he’s won the Young Alumni Award in the College of Health Sciences, in part for his research to help those with long-road COVID recover and lead better lives.
