After her right leg was amputated in 2025, Ethel was admitted to our Encompass Health hospital in Coralville, Iowa for prosthetic training. At 90 years old, Ethel was one of the hardest-working patients we’ve seen. Her determination led to her discharging home walking with her prosthesis and a walker. Amazing job, Ethel!

More than 25 years ago, Roberto Vega was admitted to our rehabilitation hospital in Miami, Florida to recover from a spinal cord injury. This year, Roberto had the opportunity to choose Encompass Health once again, this time at our San Juan Puerto Rico location.

Roberto aimed to reclaim his independence as he recovered from shoulder surgery. Regaining the use of his limbs was essential to his recovery. When he arrived, he was unable to transfer or manage his wheelchair. With his positive attitude and determination, we are confident Roberto will achieve his highest level of independence.

Thank you for trusting us with your care once again, Roberto!

We were so excited to be a part of MeMe’s recovery. MeMe’s southern charm and amazing cooking made this 86-year-old social media famous, and we can see why. MeMe, the cook and creator behind MeMe’s Recipes, came to our Anderson, South Carolina rehabilitation hospital after complications from a knee-replacement surgery. Once her condition stabilized, she needed rehabilitation.

At our hospitals, the goal is to help individuals get back to what’s important to them. For MeMe, that was cooking. Whether it’s serving up her famous Sunday suppers to family and friends or sharing her wisdom and recipes to her many followers, cooking is her passion, so we got her in our activities of daily living suite to cook up one of her fabulous dishes.

We were fortunate to have MeMe return to our Anderson, South Carolina rehabilitation hospital nearly a year later — and as feisty as ever! She shared her delicious lemon icebox pie recipe with us. With only three ingredients (see cooking instructions at the end), we think it’s a great one to add to your menu.

If you or a loved one has been impacted by a stroke or other brain injury, you may wonder how and if the brain can repair itself. The answer is yes, it can, and the process is called neuroplasticity.

Neuroplasticity happens in the brain throughout your lifetime as you learn new information and activities. It’s also crucial during recovery after a traumatic or non-traumatic injury to the central nervous system, including the brain and spine.
