THE SALVATION ARMY AND CHESTERFIELD SERVICES, INC. v. VERONICA BANKS
(Rachel A. Riordan; Elizabeth N. Kazmerowski; Kalbaugh, Pfund & Messersmith, on brief), for appellants. (Robert E. Walsh; Rutter Mills, LLP, on brief), for appellee.
UNPUBLISHED
Present: Judges Kelsey, Beales and Senior Judge Clements MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS' COMPENSATION COMMISSION (Rachel A. Riordan; Elizabeth N. Kazmerowski; Kalbaugh, Pfund & Messersmith, on brief), for appellants. (Robert E. Walsh; Rutter Mills, LLP, on brief), for appellee.
Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.
The Salvation Army and Chesterfield Services Inc. (collectively employer) appeal the decision of the Workers' Compensation Commission (commission) finding that a YMCA membership, as recommended by the treating physician of Veronica Banks (claimant), was reasonable, necessary, and causally related to her compensable shoulder injury. Employer argues it presented credible evidence from an independent physician that claimant could rehabilitate her shoulder at home and the commission should have assigned a greater weight to the less expensive home rehabilitation option.
We have reviewed the record and the commission's opinion and find that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the commission in its final opinion. See Banks v. The Salvation Army, JCN VA00000533303 (May 2, 2014). We dispense with oral argument and summarily affirm because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process. See Code § 17.1-403; Rule 5A:27.
Affirmed.
