We cut the ribbon this week on our new Garden Grove clinic at 11869 Valley View St. - the newest California Rehabilitation and Sports Therapy (Cal Rehab) location and the 39th in PRN's joint venture with MemorialCare, one of Southern California's largest nonprofit health systems.
For locals, that means a full physical therapy clinic right on Valley View -pre- and post-op rehab, non-surgical pain management, and sports medicine, all under one roof, for patients of every age. No drive to Anaheim. No drive to Westminster. Just down the street.
Why a Cal Rehab in Garden Grove
Cal Rehab has been a trusted name in California physical therapy for decades. The MemorialCare partnership puts that name in more neighborhoods and ties every clinic into the larger health system patients already use - so referrals, records, and recovery plans actually move together.
"Physical therapy works best when it's connected to everything else in a patient's care journey, and that's exactly what this partnership with MemorialCare makes possible," said Ajay Gupta, CEO of PRN. "Opening this clinic means more Southern California families have a place to go where the team actually knows them, talks to their other providers, and sticks with them through the whole recovery, not just the first visit."
Meet the PT in charge
Michael Simpson, PT, DPT, COMT, leads the Garden Grove location as clinic director. His background is the kind that pays off in patient care: military service, plus clinical experience across outpatient, inpatient, and aquatic therapy. He has seen a lot of patients work back from a lot of different things, and he brings that range to every plan of care.
"At our Garden Grove clinic, we're focused on delivering care that's both purposeful and personal," Simpson said. "My goal is to create an environment where patients feel supported, challenged, and confident in their progress, whether they're recovering from injury or working to improve their overall mobility and strength."
