For Michael Joy, executive director of Spaulding Nursing and Therapy Center Brighton, the mission of Spaulding Brighton is deeply personal. Growing up, he watched his mother care for residents as a nursing assistant, inspiring his own path in healthcare. As a trained respiratory therapist, he’s seen firsthand how every role contributes to patient care.

“When I walk the hallways here, I’m proud to be surrounded by people—staff and patients alike—who are motivated, positive, and striving for their goals,” Michael says. Read more about Spaulding Brighton: http://spklr.io/6181BMJfW

After experiencing a stroke in 2012, Lisa turned to Spaulding Rehabilitation as a source of healing and hope. She’s thankful for the community she has found here—especially through Spaulding Adaptive Sports Centers' programming, which helps people of all abilities participate in athletic and recreational activities.

“A stoke can be very lonely,” Lisa says. “The instructors and therapists get it. It’s a different type of listening and understanding.”
