ABOUT
In 2018, Chris Kennedy and Aaron Dobie founded InReach with the goal of providing high-quality Physiotherapy services to people in northern and rural communities and to people who prefer not to leave the comfort of their home.
Very quickly they learned about need for other rehabilitations services in the communities that InReach services and expanded to offer Occupational Therapy (OT) and Speech and Language Pathology (SLP).
