✨Horizon Highlight✨

Horizon Rehabilitation Hospital of McKinney is celebrating National Dog Month in August with the ⭐of our show! If you haven't already, meet Penny, the Chief Therapy Dog at Horizon. Penny is a Paws-itive addition to our staff, and is the heartbeat of recovery. With a tail that never stops wagging, she is a bona fide healing hero! Early on in Penny’s life, it became clear that she had a knack for sensing when people needed comfort and companionship. After completing her therapy dog training with flying colors, she took on her role as Chief Therapy Dog, and the rest is history. Every day, Penny leads the charge in lifting spirits and spreading joy to patients and staff alike. Her main job is about creating an atmosphere of calm and positivity that helps individuals facing physical and emotional challenges find strength in their recovery. When Penny is not making rounds, she enjoys long walks, playing fetch, and attending therapy dog conferences to stay up to date on the latest in health and wellness, and how to better serve her patients.

June is National Aphasia Awareness Month!�

Aphasia is an acquired communication disorder that affects a person’s ability to speak, understand, read, or write. However, it does not impact intelligence. It’s most commonly caused by stroke or brain injury and can also result from neurodegenerative diseases.

More than 2 million Americans are living with aphasia, yet many people have never heard of it.

Let’s change that.

Like, share, and visit aphasia.org to learn more and help raise awareness.

Understanding starts with awareness.

If you or someone you know has recently experienced a health event such as a stroke and are living with aphasia, our exceptional Speech Therapists are here to support your recovery journey. During National Speech-Language-Hearing month in May, we proudly celebrated the incredible work of our Speech Therapy team. A special shout-out to our full-time Speech Therapist Erin Lewis-Espinoza, along with Raashida Begum and Monica Garcia for their dedication and compassion helping our patients regain their communication skills. We're so grateful to have you as part of the Horizon Rehabilitation team!

Aphasia is an acquired communication disorder that impairs a person's ability to process language, but does not affect intelligence.

The event wasn't just a blast - it supported the incredible efforts to raise money for important charitable causes. It was the perfect day to connect and celebrate with our amazing neighbors and create awareness in the area communities that we serve!
