Description
The fight to regain physical mobility and independence after a serious illness or injury can be the most challenging experience of a lifetime.For many, partial recovery means reliance on special equipment to help them achieve their fullest potential.
This equipment can make the difference between living independently and productively or living a life of dependence and immobility. Imagine the frustration of knowing equipment is available that would give freedom and independence, but not having access to it because of inadequate insurance or the inability to pay. For many citizens throughout Virginia this is a harsh reality.
Fortunately, now there's hope...
