Becky Moody
Patient Service Representative
Becky joined Alton Physical Therapy in 2007. Previous to coming on board with APT, Becky was the front desk receptionist for a local Orthopedic Physician who had retired. Prior to working in the orthopedic office, she worked in the Rehab Department of CHNE. Each of these fields of service has given Becky an insight into some of the details of the inpatient and outpatient sides of rehab care.
Becky enjoys meeting new and familiar faces and feels it a privilege to serve in the front desk position at both Hardin and Alton locations.
Becky is a mother of five grown children and currently has 13 grandchildren. She enjoys the simple things in life and the occasional trips taken with her husband, Chas.
Maddie Droege

I was raised in Jerseyville, IL and graduated from Jersey Community High School in 2018. Worked in the medical field for the last 7 years and knew I wanted to stick to my passion and continue helping people. I graduated Lewis and Clark Community College in December 2021 with an Associate in Science Degree. In my spare time, I enjoy hunting, hanging out with friends, family and taking my dog Toby on walks and hikes.
