At Marianjoy our rehabilitation teams employ a

programmatic approach or the care o adult and

pediatric patients who have experienced strokes

brain injuries musculoskeletal issues spinal cord

injuries and other conditions requiring Physical

Medicine and Rehabilitation care and therapy We

work in close partnership with the many excellentacute care hospitals serving our community

in order to ensure our patients experience

seamless transitions across the continuum o

care Whether assessing patientsrsquo needs at an

initial consultation tailoring therapy programs

or helping guide the transition to the next phase

in recovery our physicians therapists and nurses

work together to improve the quality o lie or

each patient we serve Te end result is a patient-

centered approach to rehabilitation that strives to

achieve the best possible outcomes

Our commitment to this goal remains steadast in

this time o g reat change or healthcare providers

Over the years the physicians and clinicians at

Marianjoy have led the field o Physical Medicine

and Rehabilitation through the development

o innovative treatments and new approaches

to care Included among these are recognized

and accredited programs or swallowing stroke

recovery driverrsquos rehabilitation prosthetics and

orthotics pediatrics and many others

In this issue o Marianjoy Matters we highlight

two stories that demonstrate our patient-

centered approach to innovative rehabilitation

care Te first details the remarkable recovery

o a young woman ollowing a stroke and a

unique therapeutic approach developed by a

Marianjoy therapist to help her achieve hergoals We also explore the lielong relationship

between the pediatric team at Marianjoy and tw in

sisters dealing with the challenges o cerebral

palsy Tese stories o recovery are examples o

the thousands o patients who find success at

Marianjoy each year

Tese inspirational

stories illustrate

how Marianjoy

truly matters to our

community as well as

why so many patients

and amily members

insist on Marianjoy

or their rehabilitation

needs Tank or your

ongoing support as we

work together to help

patients o all ages

recover rom injury

illness or disability

Driving to her parentsrsquo home on Christmas Day 2012 Jennier Schauer

turned her head to change lanes and heard a crunching sound in

her neck Instantly she elt excruciating pain and extreme nausea

Diagnosed with a vertebral artery dissection a stroke and Wallenberg

Syndromemdasha rare neurological disorder that results in swallowing

vision and balance issuesmdashJennier aced a long and challenging

recovery Her physician recommended Marianjoy or its specialized

inpatient stroke rehabilitation program

Upon Jennierrsquos arrival Marianjoyrsquos

rehabilitative care team developed a

therapy program specific to her needs

and goals She would relearn how to

swallow eat and speak over the course

o a ew weeks and then in Marianjoyrsquos

outpatient therapy program she would

work on her strength balance and

coordination

One day while working on walking her Marianjoy physical therapist

suggested to Jennier that jogging might be a good way to work on

balance and coordination ldquoMy brain didnrsquot have time to think about

each movement so I just started to relaxrdquo Jennier eventually regained

her ability to walk and she began to use running as a orm o therapy

As an avid cyclist and runner prior to her stroke she challenged hersel

to train or a race

In July 2013 a mere seven months afer her devastating stroke Jennier

crossed the finish line at the Cadence Health Winfield 5k Run

ldquoI credit my Marianjoy care team with helping me in my recoveryrdquo

Jennier explains ldquoTeir assurance o my ability to recover gave me the

confidence to do things that I did not think were possiblerdquo

Program

Cerebral Palsy is an extremely

complicated disorder Some

children are mildly affected while

others may have more severe

involvement which can

be challenging to treat

At Marianjoy we design individual

treatment programs that may

include physical occupational

andor speech therapy to address

the childrsquos unique needs We also

emphasize family education and

involvement as a vital part of

therapy

We frequently utilize episodes

of care rather than just

recommending weeks and months

of therapy and we use home

programs that are designed to

meet each childrsquos specific needs

in the context of their families

We also like to refer families to

Juleah and Gianna Puccinelli share a lot more than DNA These

identical twins just began college together this year with the

support of a Marianjoy Scholarship Their relationship with

Marianjoy started when they were just two years old As a

result of a premature birth at only 26 weeks the girls were

born with Cerebral Palsy At the time of their birth premature

babies born at 25 weeks had a 50 percent chance of survival

and a 50 percent chance of having a disability The statistics

have since improved

The Puccinellis chose Marianjoy

for all of Juleah and Giannarsquos

rehabilitation needs including

physical occupational and

aquatic therapy They also

received custom orthotics

at a young age to help their

situational balance and muscle

tightness issues Both girls say

that Marianjoyrsquos support has been instrumental throughout

their lives ldquoI never felt like just another patient at Marianjoyrdquo

says Gianna ldquoThe doctors and therapists donrsquot stop caring

about your improvement when the appointment is overrdquo Even

though they no longer need triweekly therapy sessions they

still come back for check-ups and advice

Now excelling in college both girls say that their journey with

Marianjoy inspired their career choicesmdashGianna in nursing

and Juleah in communications ldquoMarianjoy has taught us what

it means to be surrounded by people who make it their job to

care and make it easy to work hardrdquo says Juleah ldquoWe both

want to pass that care and compassion on to others toordquo

Medical

Director

Marianjoy

Pediatric

Program

Cerebral Palsy is an extremely

complicated disorder Some

children are mildly affected while

others may have more severe

involvement which can

be challenging to treat

At Marianjoy we design individual

treatment programs that may

include physical occupational

andor speech therapy to address

the childrsquos unique needs We also

emphasize family education and

involvement as a vital part of

therapy

We frequently utilize episodes

of care rather than just

recommending weeks and months

of therapy and we use home

programs that are designed to

meet each childrsquos specific needs

in the context of their families

We also like to refer families to

InformationConnectionsorg

Marianjoyrsquos online resource for

information on disabilities

We have compiled information

including tips research

legislation education and more

so parents can find free and

reliable answers at any time

Juleah and Gianna Puccinelli share a lot more than DNA These

identical twins just began college together this year with the

support of a Marianjoy Scholarship Their relationship with

Marianjoy started when they were just two years old As a

result of a premature birth at only 26 weeks the girls were

born with Cerebral Palsy At the time of their birth premature

babies born at 25 weeks had a 50 percent chance of survival

and a 50 percent chance of having a disability The statistics

have since improved

The Puccinellis chose Marianjoy

for all of Juleah and Giannarsquos

rehabilitation needs including

physical occupational and

aquatic therapy They also

received custom orthotics

at a young age to help their

situational balance and muscle

tightness issues Both girls say

that Marianjoyrsquos support has been instrumental throughout

their lives ldquoI never felt like just another patient at Marianjoyrdquo

says Gianna ldquoThe doctors and therapists donrsquot stop caring

about your improvement when the appointment is overrdquo Even

though they no longer need triweekly therapy sessions they

still come back for check-ups and advice

Now excelling in college both girls say that their journey with

Marianjoy inspired their career choicesmdashGianna in nursing

and Juleah in communications ldquoMarianjoy has taught us what

it means to be surrounded by people who make it their job to

care and make it easy to work hardrdquo says Juleah ldquoWe both

want to pass that care and compassion on to others toordquo
