Zach Kaufman, PT joined The Iowa Clinic’s Johnston Physical Therapy department after experiencing firsthand the exceptional care provided to him and his family. Inspired by the positive experiences and encouraged by a classmate who also works at TIC, Zach knew it was the ideal place to advance his career. His passion for physical therapy stems from his love of anatomy, science, and sports, coupled with his desire to build meaningful connections with his patients. Zach finds the most rewarding aspect of his job to be empowering patients to recognize their body’s strength and resilience, helping them achieve goals they once thought impossible.

Katie Graham, PT joined The Iowa Clinic in 2023 because of the small clinic feel with large clinic resources, along with the easy collaboration between providers and departments. She also enjoys TIC’s commitment to women’s health and looks forward to expanding the pelvic floor therapy specialty. Physical Therapy is about meeting people where they are at and helping them meet their individual goal, which is one of the reasons Katie decided to pursue the field. She chose to specialize in pelvic health because she gets to help people of all genders to understand their bodies better and empower them to regain control over their lives. Outside of work, Katie enjoys indoor rock climbing, reading, cooking with her partner, and taking her cat on walks. If she were not a provider, she might have been a florist or a gardener, because she loves spending time outside and has always enjoyed plants and smelling flowers.

Katelyn Welander, PT joined The Iowa Clinic Physical Therapy department because of its strong reputation for high-quality, personalized care.
