Rehabilitationships

In this episode of Rehabilitationships, we share the inspiring story of LaSonya Alhasan, a COVID-19 survivor who found hope and healing at Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation.

After a battle with the virus that left her in a coma for weeks and paralyzed her vocal cords, LaSonya embarked on a remarkable journey of recovery, that brought her to Mary Free Bed at two separate times.

Listeners will hear firsthand about her experiences, from fear and uncertainty to the triumphs of regaining her voice and more independence.

This episode also serves as a heartfelt tribute to Monica Vaughn. Monica, who worked at Mary Free Bed for nearly 40 years, was LaSonya's dedicated occupational therapist who passed away unexpectedly this year.

Through the conversation with LaSonya, some of her family, Monica, and other team members, we explore the deep bonds formed between patients and caregivers at Mary Free Bed.

Listen to the power of perseverance, the importance of family support, and the transformative impact of compassionate rehabilitation care as LaSonya navigates her new reality and finds strength in vulnerability. This story of resilience and hope shows how the human spirit has the capacity to deal with life’s challenges.
