After experiencing a stroke, Marlene Fuchs continued her recovery journey with Physical and Occupational Therapy at Barnesville Hospital.

At first, she wasn’t sure what to expect—but quickly found a team that worked closely together, providing clear instruction, hands-on guidance, and consistent encouragement.

Therapy sessions were coordinated back-to-back, making visits convenient while allowing both teams to collaborate on progress and care. As Fuchs improved, the team continuously introduced new challenges to keep her moving forward.

“They pushed me—but in a good way,” Marlene Fuchs, Physical and Occupational Therapy Patient, said. “They were kind, encouraging, and always helping me improve.”

Fuchs also emphasized the importance of continuing therapy at home: “You can’t expect to improve if you’re only doing the exercises here. Doing the work at home—that’s what really helped my recovery.”

Having experienced therapy at multiple facilities over the years, Fuchs noted: “This is the best place I’ve been.”

Today, she credits the Barnesville team’s support, structure, and encouragement as a key part of her progress.
