Stories of Courage
Our donors help provide Glenrose patients with access to innovative rehabilitation equipment, programs and services needed to reach their goals.
Meet Lana
Recognized as a social butterfly amongst her family and friends, Lana is a vibrant young woman who enjoys bringing people together. In 2014, Lana's life changed dramatically when she was hit at a crosswalk, resulting in a fractured pelvis and a traumatic brain injury, which limited her body movement, memory and communication skills.
Lana's journey brought her to the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital, where she worked tirelessly to improve her physical and cognitive skills. She accepted every therapy challenge and continuously pushed herself to do her best.
Our donors continue to help patients like Lana with their recovery by providing access to specialized equipment, programs and services.
Meet Richard & Heather
Married for 29 years, Richard and Heather’s lives changed drastically when Richard was involved in a cycling accident. Richard sustained a fractured face, broken left arm, shoulder, ribs and shattered hand. Four days later, he suffered a stroke.
After spending weeks in intensive care, Richard began his journey at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital where he worked tirelessly to regain his balance, refine his motor skills and relearn how to walk. During his time at the Glenrose, Richard even learned to cycle again and Heather is now joining him on many of his adventures!
Our donors help provide Glenrose patients like Richard with access to innovative rehabilitation equipment, programs and services needed to reach their goals.
Throughout the 2017-2018 fiscal year, we distributed donor funds to many areas of care.
