  The clinic I work in serves primarily patients who are on Medicaid and Medicare with many of those individuals receiving assistance for mental health issues. The article highlights the role of OTs as educators to clients, family, staff, and other community members of which is prevalent within the clinic I work. This is especially true of patients who are recovering from strokes and who are severely limited in their ability to perform self-care, work, etc.. With each stroke patient I have evaluated and treated, I have included a discussion on the importance of a positive attitude in the recovery process as well as warning signs of depression, urging patients to recognize these symptoms and seek help promptly.
