Highbar in the Community

A living look at where our team shows up across the neighborhoods we serve.

We’re raising the bar in physical therapy, built by physical therapists, for physical therapists. As a teaching practice, we invest in our clinicians and in the communities where they live and work. From local sponsorships and charity events to school programs and on-the-field support for local athletes. The commitment to community runs across all of our affiliated practices:

Supporting the Ronald McDonald House Women’s Classic

Providence, RI | Highbar

Highbar was proud to once again sponsor and participate in the 18th Annual Amica Insurance Women’s Classic 5K Run & 3K Walk, benefiting Ronald McDonald House.

Our team was there every step of the way, leading pre-race stretching for both the Kids Race and the Women’s Classic 5K Run & 3K Walk, providing post-race support to runners and walkers, and even lacing up their own sneakers to take on the 5K!

Always a special event to be part of, supporting Ronald McDonald House and the incredible work they do for families in our community!
