William “Zac” Turner was admitted for left-side weakness and dialysis treatments. He shared, “It was hard at first to regain strength on my left side, but the patience and warmth from my rehab team made it seem easy and, in no time, became a reality. I have often witnessed staff work together as a team to care for patients who required more attention than others.”

After two weeks, Zac regained independence with slide board transfers and bed mobility. To show his appreciation for the care and kindness he received, Zac created Christmas cards to thank our staff.

Thank you, Zac, for trusting us with your care and for sharing your gratitude in such a thoughtful way!
