At 34, Danielle Easley, a single mom of three, had a stroke. She was told by her medical team at the hospital that she would never walk, talk or be able to take care of herself again. Upon arrival at our rehabilitation hospital in Parkersburg, West Virginia, she couldn't do any of those things. She required a Hoyer lift to get out of bed and could not complete a simple task such as scratching her nose. With dedication and hard work, Danielle beat the odds.
She never gave up and pushed herself beyond measure. Danielle was known by everyone at our hospital, even other patients. She was an inspiration to us all and the definition of success. At discharge, she proudly walked out of the hospital with a walker.
We are so proud of you, Danielle! Thank you for trusting us with your care. Find an Encompass Health location near you to learn how our rehabilitation experts can help you get back to what matters most after a stroke, other injury or illness: https://ehc.rehab/4bSpuYv
