Our STAR Ripley team recently donated school supplies to support The Frazier Foundation & BridgewaytoGrowth’s Back-to-School Supply Drive! These two organizations help provide students with the tools, resources, and confidence they need for a successful school year.

At STAR Physical Therapy, we believe caring for our community extends beyond our clinic walls. We’re honored to support local students and families as they prepare to head back to the classroom.

A big thank you to everyone who organized this wonderful event and to those who continue making a difference in the lives of our children. Together, we’re building a stronger, healthier community—one student at a time.

From all of us at STAR Physical Therapy, we wish every student, teacher, and school staff member a safe, fun, and successful school year!
