Josie Bekkerus is a staff physical therapist at Crawford County Memorial Hospital. She earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Creighton University in May 2024, following a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Health from Iowa State University in December 2020.
Josie has a special interest in treating pediatric patients, vestibular disorders, and a range of musculoskeletal conditions. Reflecting on her passion for the field, she says, “My love for physical therapy comes from helping people return to the activities they enjoy! I’m thrilled to be back in the community I grew up in, working with people I know.”
Outside of work, Josie spends much of her free time with family and friends. She and her husband, Peter, also enjoy Iowa State football games, attending musicals at the Des Moines Civic Center, and visiting the Denison Dog Park with their dog, Daisy.
