DES MOINES, IA – The board of directors of the Iowa Physical Therapy Association (IPTA) has selected LFA member Janet Galloway Huston to receive the 2010 Max Shelton Friend of Iowa Physical Therapy Award.  The IPTA presents the Max Shelton Award annually to a non-physical therapist who has made a significant contribution to the Iowa physical therapy profession.  Janet is an attorney at the law firm of Dickinson, Mackaman, Tyler & Hagen, P.C. in Des Moines.  The award is named in memory of an Iowa dealer of physical therapy supplies and equipment who served as a mentor and benefactor to new Iowa physical therapists for many years. 

“Janet helped us through some legal issues that were very important to the Iowa physical therapy profession,” said IPTA Executive Director Mike Mandel.  “Success would not have been possible without her guidance and direction, and our members wish to recognize her exceptional service.”  This year’s award will be presented at the IPTA’s Spring Conference on the Iowa State University campus in Ames on April 24.
