Lindy Kleivo, former Marianjoy patient

"Today I am walking, running, and even dancing—usually right at home in my family room,
with my toddler at my side. I recently announced the launch of
another community magazine and have learned so many
valuable lessons through this ordeal. My life has certainly changed
for the best since my battle with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, and
I have the people at Marianjoy to thank for helping me to
get back on track by showing me how to live the best life possible."

Myra Deem with her Marianjoy physiatrist, Dr. Norman Aliga

"The key to any recovery is the delicate balance of medical prowess and patient attitude.
The staff at Marianjoy is keenly adept at maintaining a positive mental attitude
among themselves as well as their patients.
These capable and dedicated individuals are the 'secret weapons'
that Marianjoy freely offers to heal both the body and the human spirit."

Chris Frank with his Marianjoy occupational therapist

“I cannot say enough about the care my son received, and continues to receive,
at Marianjoy,” says Melody. “The staff was aggressive in his care and
didn’t take ‘no’ for an answer, especially when it came to pushing Chris
to do what they knew he was capable of doing – and that was getting better.
As he continues through his outpatient therapy, I’m just comforted by how the
nurses, doctors, volunteers, and others still recognize him,
call him by name, and wish him well. It’s a special place.”
