Denver Police Physical Therapist Treats Officers, Save MillionsPosted: March 7, 2018 Police officers in Denver have a new way to get healthy if they are injured. It's a physical therapist on staff, Fox31 and Colorado's 2News report. According to the stations, the idea is borrowed from the Denver Fire Department and is one that has saved the city millions of dollars. Daniel Jonte started treating officers in 2016 as part of a pilot program. "That first month was a building phase, we had 46 patients that first month," Jonte said. "The next month, we had 135 patients. The word got out quickly.” The stations say he now treats about 150 patients per month, and he has a waiting list of several weeks. In total, he has had 2,600 patient visits. |
