After experiencing a stroke in April 2025, 45-year-old construction business owner Jeff Roagers began his recovery journey with physical and occupational therapy at Inspira Health.

With the support of his care team and his family, Jeff has been rebuilding his strength and endurance step by step. Today, he’s back on the job, helping renovate facilities that serve individuals with autism and developmental disabilities, and back to enjoying time with his wife, Corinne, and their children.

“I’m very pleased that I have come this far in this short of a time,” Jeff said. “I didn’t know if I would ever walk again. Now my endurance is back up and I am walking without a cane. Therapy is helping me get back to the old me.”

Every milestone matters on the road to recovery and Jeff’s determination keeps him moving forward.

“This was scary for everyone,” he said. “But I now have hope for the future; that I will be able to see my kids grow up and see where they wind up in life.”

For Nicole and Marcus Wessells, choosing bariatric surgery at Inspira Health wasn’t just about losing weight, it was about gaining life back, together. This South Jersey couple, parents of three, decided to take the leap side by side with Dr. Christopher Bashian, Director of Inspira’s Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Program at Inspira Medical Center Mullica Hill.

“I tried everything, including fads and hitting the gym. Nothing worked. My P*P, Dr. Trom, suggested surgery. I was hesitant, but then I met Dr. Bashian. He was very personable and gave me a much more thorough explanation of the surgery and the process than I had gotten previously. He walked me through every little thing. He made me comfortable in my decision.” - Nicole Wessells

Since their gastric sleeve surgery last October, Nicole has gone from 218 to 130 lbs and says she can finally chase her kids up the stairs without losing breath. Marcus has lost 120 lbs and reversed his prediabetes.

Their secret? Support from each other and from Inspira’s compassionate weight loss surgery team every step of the way.

“We figured if we did it together, we could encourage each other and hold ourselves accountable.” — Marcus Wessells
