CYRENA COLGAN - OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST
Cyrena Colgan is an enthusiastic Occupational Therapist who will CHEER 👏🏻 YOU 👏🏻 ON 👏🏻 ! After spending 14 years as a competitive cheerleader, Cyrena brought her spirit and passion to the healthcare world.
She loves working at Johnson County Rehab because she loves helping patients reach their medical rehab goals and seeing their smiling faces every day. When she’s not traveling during her free time, she enjoys exploring the best brunch spots with her family, friends, and amazing fiancé.
AMNEET GILL - CLINICAL LIASON
Meet Amneet Gill, OT, our dedicated Clinical Liaison. Like her favorite song, “Unstoppable” by Sia, Amneet is an unstoppable force for good in patients’ lives.
As a first-generation American Indian and the first college graduate in her family, Amneet loves working at Johnson County Rehab because she believes in the power that acute rehab has in helping patients improve their quality of life. “It’s amazing we get to be part of their journey and story,” she explains. In her time off, she plays with her six-month-old little girl, travels, and tries new restaurants with her husband and friends.
PATRICK MONHOLLON - LPN
Some people may say that Patrick Monhollon was made to be an LPN. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure his patients receive the best rehab care. But don’t take our word for it!
The frequent compliments we get from patients say it all. Patrick loves seeing the functional progress patients make from the time they arrive until the time they’re discharged.
Behind his cheerful demeanor, most people would never guess that Patrick is a bookworm at heart. He loves collecting literature and has amassed hundreds of titles so far. When he’s not at work, you can find Patrick reading one of his many books or spending time outside with his three dogs.
ASHLEY HOWARD - OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST
Ashley Howard is an Occupational Therapist who has been with Johnson County Rehab Hospital since its inception. She uses her empathy, patience and creativity to inspire her patients and bring out the best in them during their rehab journey. Although she treasures her ability to build relationships with patients and watch them grow, Ashley can’t help but think they sometimes teach her more than she teaches them.
When she’s not helping patients get back to living their best lives, you can find Ashley baking, traveling, fishing or spending time with her pets and family.
BJORN COLEMAN - HOUSE SUPERVISOR
Bjorn Coleman is Johnson County Rehab Hospital’s fun and caring House Supervisor. In his role, he does everything he can to make sure his patients have a 5-star experience.
By ensuring everyone can get an “uber-comfortable” night’s rest, Bjorn supports the patients’ ability to give it “their all” in therapy and meet their discharge goals. Because Bjorn had a bilateral hip replacement due to a disease called avascular necrosis, he can relate to his patients from a rehab perspective and the intensive rehab treatments required. He takes joy in helping to inspire and motivate the patients on their healing journey.
When he’s not at work, you can find Bjorn gardening, bowling, enjoying music, playing video games, or – his favorite thing of all – shopping.
ANITA SANDWELL - NURSING SUPERVISOR
Meet Anita Sandwell, Nursing Supervisor at Johnson County Rehabilitation Hospital. She started on August 15th, 2022.
In my position, I focus on serving and supporting the staff as they care for our patients. The nursing supervisor role involves evaluating the current patient census and staff availability to make assignments for the shift. The role develops and enhances work processes, supply availability , and patient safety to support the staff and protect our patients.

Johnson County Rehabilitation Hospital is the perfect place for a patient to continue their recovery. The staff are technically excellent and caring of the patients and their families. The facility is beautiful and provides the services needed for the next steps in their healing.
Nursing allows me to use my love for science in serving the human condition. Working at Johnson County Rehabilitation Hospital provides me the opportunity to work with an outstanding staff as we support and educate patients in learning to care for themselves again.
