In October 1988, Sidney Holmes was unjustly arrested and charged with armed robbery. Despite being wrongly convicted and sentenced to 400 years in prison, Sidney never lost hope. Throughout his sentence, he earned his associate’s degree in theology and discovered his passion for customer service and personal growth while working in the prison’s kitchen. In 2017, Sidney applied to the Innocence Project, where his case would be reviewed by their conviction unit. Nearly six years later, in February of 2023 Sidney's sentence was vacated and he was released just a month later.

Prior to his stroke, Phillip Kuhn played tennis once or twice a week and golfed three or four times a week, walking all 18 holes. When Phillip came to our hospital, he couldn’t stand on his own. Prior to discharge, though, he was walking 400 feet. “There’s progress almost every day that I can see,” Phillip said.

In observation of American Stroke Month, we are proud to recognize our stroke teams that work to maximize patient recovery from stroke and improve their quality of life. Did you know where you go for rehabilitation after a stroke makes a difference? According to the American Heart Association, whenever possible, stroke patients should be treated at an inpatient rehabilitation hospital rather than a skilled nursing facility.

Ashley Dupell, OT, goes the extra mile in making patients feel welcome. For example, we had a patient who spoke Russian with limited English. Ashley learned Russian phrases and words to be able to welcome the patient to every therapy session and make the sessions easier for her to understand. She also learned numbers to indicate repetitions. Ashley is pictured receiving her employee of the quarter award from Marcus Braz, CEO.
