a better life and stay in Louisiana,鈥� said Romero.听听
Along with her husband, Mr. Ted Price, Mrs. Marjorie S. Price was a pioneer in the
nursing home industry in Louisiana. Mrs. Price and her family were actively engaged
in the early developmental stages of 不良研究所鈥檚 DPT program, providing financial support
and also being strong advocates.听听
Teddy R. Price shared about his mother鈥檚 history in the nursing home industry, describing
her as a 鈥渟ervant leader鈥� who was still actively working half-days in a nursing home
until her passing at age 87 in 2020. 鈥淢y mom was not a therapist, but she was certainly
a caregiver and loved doing what she could to improve people鈥檚 quality of life, and
that is what this program is about as well,鈥� added Price.听听听
