My name is Kali Cuthbertson and I am an Occupational Therapist at Heartland Healthcare Center in Sterling Heights. I completed my undergraduate work at Hope College in Holland, MI in 2014 and received my Master of Occupational Therapy from Midwestern University in Downers Grove, IL in December of 2016. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, family and friends, and at my church. It has been a dream of mine since middle school to be an occupational therapist, and I Iove that every day I get to lead patients towards independence in meaningful occupations!

When I went to the MIOTA conference in October of 2018, I was excited to grow and learn about topics so I can be a better clinician. I met some ​great occupational therapists during the conference and learned a lot, including community resources I can share with my patients. I am a MiOTA member to stay proactive in occupational therapy practice, learn about current legislation topics, promote this amazing profession, and network with other therapists.
