Rachel Struemke, OT
Occupational Therapy

Philosophy of Care: Each patient has a unique story and circumstance, which means each patient needs a unique plan of care. I strive to be as creative and specific as I can with each patient’s care plan, so they can return to the roles, jobs, and activities that are most meaningful to them.

What parts of your job do you enjoy the most? I enjoy working with a variety of populations ranging from toddlers to elders. I have a special interest and passion for working with children and helping them to succeed in the world that surrounds them, whether that be learning motor skills or improving attention & regulation. I am interested in supporting individualized support for each patient to allow them to succeed in the parts of their daily life that mean the most to them.

What drew you to work at OMC? The close and collaborative interdisciplinary team that OMC provides for patient care. I am grateful to work with a variety of populations ranging from pediatrics to geriatrics.

Personal Interests: I enjoy spending time with my family outside as much as possible! Hiking, tending to my garden, running, and baking are a few of my favorite hobbies.

Fun Fact: My favorite place to be is on the beach of south shore Lake Superior.
