BANGOR, MAINE — Husson University’s College of Health and Pharmacy is accepting new patients at its SOARing Eagles Healthcare Clinic, located at 79 Marshall Road in Bangor, Maine. The clinic offers free physical therapy services to people of all ages who need treatment and are uninsured or underinsured.

The clinic is staffed by Husson University Physical Therapy graduate students who provide treatments under the supervision of licensed physical therapists. PT students in the first year of their graduate studies are paired with experienced second-year students at the clinic, allowing them to learn from each other. 

“The SOARing Eagles Healthcare Clinic has provided valuable service to community members since 2014. For students, this is also an opportunity to extend their learning in a real-life setting,” said Dr. Kimberly Steinbarger, an assistant professor in Husson’s School of Physical Therapy and the director of the Soaring Eagles Healthcare Clinic. “We aim to provide holistic, individualized treatment for patients while giving them more attention then they might receive elsewhere.”

Students can enroll in any of three programs: a six-year Bachelor of Science in exercise science/Doctor of Physical Therapy degree; a three-year Doctor of Physical Therapy degree or a Doctor of Physical Therapy/ Master of Business Administration dual degree program.
