Getting Covid-19 was a horror show. I am a strong woman, so when this virus hit me as hard as it did, I felt very scared. When I was admitted, my functional mobility was zero at all levels. I couldn’t even walk on flat surfaces. It seemed that this was the end of my independence and strength.

Then I came to Slate Valley Center for Rehab and my life felt light again. The staff were so welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. My therapy team, especially Sarah and Jen, were so helpful as they motivated me to work harder and get healthier.

After more than a year and a half at Slate Valley Center, I can confidently say I am no longer scared. While I need my husband for some assistance, I can stand on my own two feet and walk. Thank you, Slate Valley, for making me a strong woman again!
