倾听病人的心声
In June 2019, while on a youth outing, Cameron fell nearly 60 feet in a cave. He sustained several broken bones and a severe traumatic brain injury. The likelihood of living a normal life were slim for the teenager. 然而, his recovery began to take a turn for the better during his outpatient rehabilitation sessions at the Sugar House Therapy 服务 clinic. His team of physical therapists pushed him to reach his full recovery potential in a safe, 支持环境. 现在, he can walk to school without a wheelchair and race his physical therapist around the track inside the rehab clinic.
