Clara Barton Medical Center is pleased to add Emilee Roberts, MA, CF-SLP, to their esteemed team of therapy professionals. As a recent graduate, Roberts is enthusiastic and looks forward to the positive contributions she will make to the Clara Barton team and community.
Originally from Chanute, KS, Roberts has demonstrated outstanding academic performance throughout her education. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Communication Sciences and Disorders in 2022, followed by her Master of Arts in Speech-Language Pathology in 2024, both from Wichita State University. Her commitment to academic excellence is evident from her summa cum laude honors and her membership in the Alpha Eta Honor Society. Roberts also received the College of Health Professions Highest GPA Award.
“The most rewarding aspect of my work is building meaningful connections with patients and their families,” said Roberts. “Witnessing the joy on their faces when they achieve goals that once seemed challenging is inspiring and I enjoy improving patients’ quality of life by helping them learn to communicate, swallow, and eat safely.”
Before officially joining Clara Barton Therapy Services in June, Roberts completed her internship there, gaining valuable hands-on experience.
“We’re thrilled that Emilee has chosen to join our therapy team and begin her career as a Speech Therapist at Clara Barton,” said Natalie Bieberle, Director of Therapy Services. “Her internship with us gave her beneficial insight into our team and our commitment to quality care, making her the perfect fit as we continue to grow to better serve our community and surrounding areas.”
Roberts comes from a family deeply rooted in the medical field, with both of her parents serving as healthcare professionals. This background is what inspired her to pursue a healthcare career. She has two older sisters and a younger brother.
In her free time, Roberts enjoys traveling, baking, reading, bike riding, and spending quality time with her friends and family. She is also an avid sports fan, cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Chiefs.
