After Army Warrant Officer Brian Burns sustained severe brain and internal injuries in a motorcycle collision, his wife Kayla — seven months pregnant with their third child — confronted the possibility she might raise “three little Brians alone.” Brian spent three weeks fighting for life at a trauma hospital, then transitioned to Select Specialty Hospital - Springfield for extended recovery.

There, and later at Select Medical Rehabilitation — now CoxHealth Rehabilitation Hospital — Brian progressed from speaking a single word to eating, standing, walking, and managing daily tasks. Weeks later, he reached a milestone his family had held onto: being present in the delivery room for their son’s birth.

After a devastating car crash, Florida grandmother Lucy Jimenez was given just a 15% chance of survival. She spent weeks sedated and critically ill before beginning her fight back at Select Specialty Hospital - Tallahassee, where she slowly relearned to breathe, speak and sit upright. Eight weeks later, she no longer needed a ventilator or feeding tube. Lucy then moved to Select Medical Rehabilitation - Tallahassee, rebuilding strength step by step. Nearly three months after the crash, she walked out on her own. “I’m a fighter,” she said—and she proved it.

Today we celebrate Pharmacist Day and recognize the vital role our pharmacy team plays in patient care.

From pre-admission to post-discharge, our pharmacists and pharmacy technicians work behind the scenes and at the bedside to ensure patient safety. Before a patient arrives, they review and reconcile medications, checking that everything is in order. During a hospital stay, they independently manage multiple medications and make adjustments as needed. At discharge, patients receive counseling and follow-up support to help them stay on track.

Our pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are more than medication experts — they are partners in recovery.

Handwashing protects patients from infections that can slow down recovery and helps to maintain a germ-free environment. 🧼

Cleanliness is always top of mind in our hospitals.

While scrubbing away the germs, sing or hum the “Happy Birthday” song twice to ensure your hands are clean.

March is Brain Injury Awareness month. According to the Brain Injury Association of America, someone in the United States sustains a brain injury every nine seconds. A brain injury can affect how a person thinks, acts and feels.

Brain injuries can result from an outside force to the head, known as a traumatic brain injury (TBI), or an internal cause – known as a non-traumatic brain injury (NTBI).

Learn more about the difference between a TBI and NTBI below, and check back throughout the month as we spotlight brain injury and how we help people recover.

February marks American Heart Month, a time to raise more awareness for heart health and cardiovascular diseases.

Select Medical admits a range of cardiac rehabilitation patients recovering from a variety of conditions, including heart failure, cardiomyopathy (heart issues making it hard to pump blood) and cardiac surgery, including heart transplants. Our interdisciplinary teams – including physicians, nurses and therapists – develop individualized treatment plans focused on post-surgical healing, dietary and medication education and restoring strength and endurance. The goal is to avoid cardiac complications and provide patients with the skills, strategies and techniques needed for independent and heart-healthy lives.
