“We Don’t Get Therapy Like This At Home”

After her 12-year-old daughter Chelsea suffered a spinal cord injury during spinal surgery, Janette Wellman brought Chelsea from Michigan to Frazier Rehab Institute for therapy because, “we don’t get therapy like this at home,” she says.  (Go to http://larosaloop.kintera.org to see how you can help Frazier Rehab help children like Chelsea recover from paralyzing injuries.)

Last year the  “Larosa Loop,” a noncompetitive run/walk/roll and fundraiser for Frazier Rehab raised funds to purchase a pediatric locomotor treadmill so children like Chelsea could receive the best therapy possible.

This year, on Saturday morning, May 19th, the “Larosa Loop” will raise funds to purchase a pediatric Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) bike, which allows children to cycle with the assistance of electrical stimulation to leg muscles, as well as assistive technology devices designed to help children with disabling injuries and illnesses communicate and function independently.

To help it’s as easy as going to http://larosaloop.kintera.org and clicking “Register Here” to run, walk, roll or bike with us at the event, to simply make a donation, or to start a virtual fundraising team to help children like Chelsea.  If you have any questions please call Carol Wade at 587-4604.

jasonhundley Even though there are van accessible handicapped spaces, anyone with a handicapped parking sticker is allowed to park in them. This makes it very hard for me and others who are bound to a wheelchair to find a parking space. Please sign my petition to make van accessible parking spaces designated for ramp and lift vans only. Go to the link to sign.

nyah when i first got to Frazier i could barely move and my left arm was still paralyzed. by the time i left the therapists had taught me how to take care of myself and my two children. all the staff was like second family. everyone from the therapist to the kitchen staff to the social workers were like second family. i would not suggest any other place but frazier for rehabilitation.

William I would like to meet the Frazier graduates, no matter how young or old, in my area. Can you help me? What is my FofF member number? This site is a whole bunch easier than at the start, and your "ease-of-use" focus could possible attract more graduates for me to meet/talk-to. Thank You Frazier

FrazierAdmin Thanks so much for your comment and your interest. It is our hope that current and former Frazier patients will use this site, and especially the discussion group page, to talk and get to know each other “virtually.” In the future, if there is interest, it is possible that get-together’s or events could be organized where folks can meet in person. Thanks for the suggestion.
