Meet Megan Nagle— College Park Physical Therapist

Q: Please tell us a little bit about your family.
Aedan was born July 7 2015. We moved into our CP home on July 1 2015! Moving at 40 wks pregnant – 1 star. Do not recommend. Norah was born at 28 weeks on May 16 2018 and spent 78 days in the Florida Hospital/Advent Health NICU. She had an unremarkable stay and ha s continued to grow into a healthy, strong, and somewhat sassy 2 1/2 year old. My husband Rob is a Lieutenant with the Orlando Fire Department where he serves his community and fosters a close brother/sisterhood with his fellow firefighters. You may even see him working at Orlando sporting events! We have been together since Jun 2006 and married since Oct 2012
