Ms. Turner's Success Story
From Cornerstone Specialty Hospitals Southwest Louisiana
In late February, Ms. Turner transitioned to Cornerstone Specialty Hospitals Southwest Louisiana to receive continued care for COVID19 complications.
When Ms. Turner arrived at our Lake Charles hospital, she wasn’t able to walk or stand. She required total assistance for bed mobility and transfers.
Our rehabilitation team worked closely with Ms. Turner to help her regain her independence. Through each challenge, Ms. Turner persevered.
Upon discharge to an inpatient rehabilitation facility on April 7, Ms. Turner was able to walk 30 feet with a rolling walker! We’re so thankful to serve Ms. Turner and wish her the best!
Care for Complex Conditions
Patients come to our hospitals with serious conditions such as respiratory failure, complex wounds, sepsis, stroke, congestive heart failure, or even a combination of these. Their diagnoses are often complicated by existing health problems like diabetes or COPD. Many of our patients require treatments such as mechanical ventilators, dialysis, or IV therapy.
