As an occupational therapist, Moeller helps patients live independently and as safely as possible, working with individuals who need assistance learning or re-learning daily skills after an injury, illness or psychological issue.

He said that he is consistently proud of the first-rate care Pardee Home Health staff provides in Henderson, Transylvania, Polk and Buncombe counties.
