In 2022, Kaitlynn Farr’s rehabilitation journey started after an accident that left her with broken hips, a broken ankle, and two fractured vertebrae.

Just a few months later she was walking without any assistive device making her Wonder Woman nickname never more fitting. 🧡

🌟 Employee Spotlight: Maddy Gray🌟

Meet Maddy, one of our amazing acute care occupational therapists at the Cooper campus! 🧡

Each day, she completes evaluations and treatments with patients, helping them regain independence and confidence during recovery.💪

Maddy’s interest in healthcare began when she was nine years old after her grandmother became ill. Later, a friend encouraged her to explore occupational therapy—and she quickly fell in love with the diversity of the field. Acute care proved to be the perfect fit, allowing her to work with new patients and diagnoses every day.

Her journey with Covenant started at just 19! She began in medical records (HIM), worked as an NCA in the ER through school, and joined the rehabilitation team in 2019 after earning her license. 🏥

What she loves most is serving her hometown community and being a “frontliner” who offers patients their first sense of hope. Whether helping an ICU patient, a stroke survivor, or someone recovering from open-heart surgery, Maddy is passionate about advocating for her patients and their needs.

Outside of work, she enjoys time with her Irish Wolfhound, Denver, and loves listening to The Red Clay Strays. Fun fact — she read the entire chronological Bible in just 160 days! 📖🎶

Her advice for new therapists: “Keep an open mind and be willing to try settings outside your comfort zone. I’m grateful to have found my home in acute care at Covenant.” ✨

Thank you for your compassion and dedication, Maddy — we’re grateful to have you! 💚

From a lightning strike to the Paralympic podium, U.S. Army veteran Scott Severn has never stopped defying the odds.

Seth from Kawkawlin, MI has been busy redefining what’s possible, one step at a time. ⭐

Seth began toe walking at a young age and eventually developed contractures. He underwent Achilles tendon lengthening surgery at age 5, but continued toe walking as he grew.

When surgery was recommended again at 15, his parents championed a different path and brought him to Mary Free Bed at Covenant HealthCare for serial casting. 🧡

After 8 focused weeks, Seth reached full flat-foot contact, is now walking heel-to-toe, and is supported with custom bracing from our orthotics & prosthetics team.

He’ll continue working in our outpatient therapy program to build strength and keep his progress moving forward.💪

His hard work is paying off. Take a look at how far he’s come! 👣

After being told she’d never walk again, Amanda from Linden, MI, refused to give up. 💪

Diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome – AMSAN, a rare and severe form affecting both motor and sensory nerves, she spent six months in a nursing home before coming to Mary Free Bed at Covenant HealthCare.

“I came here and felt like I had a reason to live again. It was a total life changer…It was the best thing that happened to me aside from my kids.”

Today, Amanda is walking with a walker and headed toward her next chapter. 💚
