Reviewing the manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy involves the coordinated efforts of the Journal's Editor, Associate Editors, and Reviewers. Ann Medley joined the Journal as an Associate Editor in 2017. She is a most welcome addition to Bill Andrews, Kerstin Palombaro, Kevin Chui, and Robert Wellmon, who continue to faithfully execute their editorial roles. In addition to myself and the Associate Editors, the 92 Editorial Board members and Reviewers listed below each reviewed 1 or more manuscripts for the Journal in 2017. Their efforts are greatly appreciated.
