Rehabilitation
The heart of what I do lives in the world of rehabilitation. The everyday work of those in acute rehabilitation is nothing short of miraculous. If you’re looking for somewhere amazing to give a donation, volunteer your time, or in the unfortunate event of needing this type of rehab for yourself or a loved one, here are a couple places I would highly recommend.
Shepherd Center, located in Atlanta, Georgia, is a private, not-for-profit hospital specializing in medical treatment, research and rehabilitation for people with spinal cord injury, brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, spine and chronic pain, and other neuromuscular conditions.
Craig Hospital, located in Denver, Colorado, is a world-renowned, premier center for specialty neurorehabilitation and research for people with spinal injury and brain injury.
