NORTH CANAAN – Mike Mangini recalled visiting rural North Canaan in 1997 to apply for a position as a physical therapist at the Geer Village nursing home. Having served as a physical therapist for the then-Washington Redskins from 1990 to 1995, he was pumped for a new challenge.
CANAAN – Mike Mangini wistfully looked around the large room where for the last 25 years he has delivered outpatient physical therapy at Geer Rehabilitation.
He recently was notified that Geer is closing the practice Sept. 16, and he and his small staff are being laid off.
