Imagine if something happened that robbed you of your ability to walk, talk or move. Imagine being left weak, in pain and without energy. What would you do? The patients at St. John’s Rehab Hospital, men and women who have survived a traumatic injury or illness, don’t have to imagine. They know.
"I want to stand on my own. I want to play with my kids. I want to go for a walk with my wife. I want to golf again. I want to go back to work. I want to wear heels. I want to take care of myself."
Every day our patients show us what moves them. And that’s what moves us.
