Beginning March 24, 2026, Jefferson Healthcare will launch a new partnership, increasing the organization’s capacity for high-quality physical therapy and rehabilitation services in East Jefferson County.
Patients in Port Hadlock, Chimacum, and surrounding communities now have easier access to rehabilitation care close to home. Jefferson Healthcare has expanded its rehabilitation services through a new partnership with Discovery Physical Therapy, bringing experienced physical therapist Amy-Irene Lynch, PT, and her team into the Jefferson Healthcare network.
Starting on March 24, 2026, the Port Hadlock clinic will operate as Jefferson Healthcare Discovery Rehabilitation Services, increasing the organization’s capacity to provide high-quality physical therapy and rehabilitation services in East Jefferson County.
Amy-Irene Lynch has served the East Jefferson County community for nearly two decades as the owner of Discovery Physical Therapy. Over the past 18 years, she has helped patients recover from injury, surgery, and chronic conditions while building a trusted rehabilitation practice in Port Hadlock.
Now, Lynch and her team are joining Jefferson Healthcare while continuing to care for patients in the same familiar location.
“Joining Jefferson Healthcare allows us to expand and grow our services to better serve our community,” Lynch said. “With this partnership, we’ll be able to recruit additional staff, reduce wait times, and offer even more rehabilitation services close to home.”
For existing patients, Lynch says the experience will remain familiar.
“Our current patients will still come to the same location and see the people they know and trust,” Lynch said. “It will feel very similar, but now we’ll have the support of Jefferson Healthcare to expand what we can offer.”
The Port Hadlock clinic expands Jefferson Healthcare’s rehabilitation offerings and makes it easier for patients in East Jefferson County to access care.
With the addition of Jefferson Healthcare Discovery Rehabilitation, patients in Port Hadlock, Chimacum, and nearby communities can receive physical therapy services closer to home, reducing travel time and increasing appointment availability.
At Jefferson Healthcare Discovery Rehabilitation, Lynch provides a wide range of physical therapy services designed to help patients recover mobility, reduce pain, and return to the activities they enjoy.
Common rehabilitation services include:
In addition to general rehabilitation services, Lynch brings specialized expertise in pelvic health physical therapy, an area of care that many people are surprised to learn can be treated through physical therapy.
Pelvic health therapy can help people of all genders and ages who experience conditions such as:
“We work with people of all genders and ages who are struggling with bowel and bladder dysfunction, pelvic pain, and other pelvic floor conditions,” Lynch said. “These are important functions of the body that have a major impact on quality of life, and physical therapy can often help restore that function.”
Pelvic health physical therapy focuses on strengthening and retraining the pelvic floor muscles to improve comfort, control, and overall well-being.
For Lynch, joining Jefferson Healthcare represents an opportunity to expand services while continuing the mission she has followed throughout her career — helping the community stay active and healthy.
“Being part of Jefferson Healthcare means we’ll be able to grow beyond what we’ve been able to do as a small business,” Lynch said. “Together, we can serve more people in our community and expand the services available to them.”
