A devastating car accident on the way to the grocery story landed Frank Gostrue on a ventilator with acute respiratory failure and immobile due to multiple spine and rib fractures. After 32 days in the hospital, Frank’s condition stabilized but he couldn’t breathe on his own, eat, talk or walk. Knowing he would need specialized care, his family chose to transition him to Select Specialty Hospital - Southeast Ohio, a critical illness recovery hospital.

When Larry Jennings, 66, experienced a rare spinal stroke while driving, he was left unable to walk or stand due to numbness from the middle of his chest to his feet. An avid photographer, videographer and sportscaster for local high school sports, Larry wondered if he’d ever be able to walk again or return to the hobbies he loved. With the support of his family, community and therapists at Cleveland Clinic Rehabilitation Hospital, Beachwood, the Ohio native made incredible progress during his 35-day stay.

After her spinal cord began compressing due to a mysterious genetic condition, Gisele Soto underwent a laminectomy, a surgery to relieve pressure on the spinal cord by removing a portion of the vertebrae.

While hopeful she would walk again following surgery, Gisele woke up and felt nothing from her chest down. Gisele’s surgeons recommended California Rehabilitation Institute, where she began the long road to recovery.
Supported by a physician-led team of therapists and nurses, Gisele regained strength and movement while working with her physical and occupational therapists. Now able to walk in a limited capacity, Gisele continues to use Cal Rehab’s outpatient services to increase her mobility and endurance.
