To Make Recovery Possible...


Doctors originally told Jayson that his wife of over 20 years had only days left to live after contracting pneumonia.

Watch how she went from being dependent on a ventilator to breathe to dancing with her husband again.

When Antoinette came to Kindred, she was unable to walk, talk, eat or breathe on her own. Recently, she came back to visit us. And she walked in cane-free to visit those who helped her regain those abilities. "You need to have your family or somebody around you that you know cares. And when my family couldn't be here, that's what Kindred did," she said.

George was seriously injured in an explosion that riddled his body with shrapnel and resulted in the breaking of nine bones. With the help of therapists, nurses and physicians at Kindred -- as well as his love of music -- George recovered to the fullest extent.

When Patrick’s Cardiologist told him he needed a new aortic valve, he went forward with the surgery.
