On Thursday, Joseph "Spike" Bahn walked out of Encompass Rehabilitation Hospital of York to a standing ovation after a month of recovery.

In April, Joseph “Spike” Bahn arrived at Encompass Rehabilitation Hospital of York to begin rehabilitative therapy after suffering a subdural hematoma following a golf-cart accident. Following his accident, Spike left the hospital with the goal of regaining his independence and arrived at Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of York to accomplish just that. Upon admission, he required assistance walking, getting dressed and cooking on his own. Nearly three weeks, he has made significant progress and is able to carry his own 10-pound bag with him to dialysis several times a week. With the assistance of his team of therapists and clinicians, Spike is ready to get back to what matters most.

“Oh, it feels so good," said Spike about returning home.

“To come back from an injury like this and be independent again is a huge accomplishment," said Lindsey Keffer, a physical therapist with Encompass Rehabilitation Hospital.
