"Thank you!! I could not have done it without the staff and therapy."
After a total left hip replacement, Deb Rister came to Briar Hill Health Campus to rebuild her strength and independence. Before her surgery, she enjoyed riding her bike, walking her dog, keeping up with housework, and visiting friends and family. However, upon arrival at Briar Hill, even the simplest tasks, like walking or getting in and out of bed, required assistance. Deb couldn’t put weight on her leg, and daily activities such as dressing or using the restroom independently felt impossible. Determined to regain her independence, Deb was clear with her therapists about her goal: to care for herself again.
Thanks to her dedication and the compassionate, knowledgeable care of her Synchrony Rehab therapists, Deb quickly surpassed her expectations. Now, she can walk long distances with a walker, get in and out of bed on her own, climb steps, and handle her daily needs independently. Grateful to the entire team, Deb’s story reflects her immense progress and the impact of her skilled and caring therapy team at Briar Hill. “Thank you,” she shared with a smile, “I could not have done it without the staff and therapy.”
