Easterseals Rehabilitation Center WV

Thank you to the River Valley Health Foundation and the Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley for providing funding for our clients who are uninsured or underinsured so they can continue receiving life-changing rehabilitative care here at Easterseals! What an incredible group of recipients that gathered at Orchard Park Hospital yesterday to receive their funds and talk about their programs. https://lnkd.in/eHMY386C

Thank you to Kalkreuth Roofing & Sheet Metal, Inc., ABC Supply Co. Inc., Johns Manville, Carlisle Construction Materials and all the sponsors of the Kalkreuth Amateur Golf Championship this weekend for supporting our mission to create life-changing solutions for children and adults with disabilities in the Ohio Valley. Here's one example of a life changed!

Noxx's life-changing journey began at Easterseals in October and continues with regular follow-ups and weekly physical therapy and occupational therapy. His mother, Tara, says the "real Noxx" has emerged after 4 years of pain and difficulty. We couldn't be happier and more excited to have played a part in this transformation! Check out Noxx's story by Colin Roose on WTRF 7News, linked in the comments. Thank you to Kalkreuth Roofing & Sheet Metal, Inc. for supporting the work we do with children like Noxx. Huge shout out to Nurse Practitioner Jennifer Diserio for spotting Noxx's symptoms, advocating for him, and providing life-changing solutions for him and his family. Noxx's Easterseals treatment team also includes Kassie Frohnapfel, OT, and Emily Eberle, PT. Of course, this success story would not be possible without the brilliant neurosurgeon Dr. Hal Meltzer at WVU Medicine Children's in Morgantown. If you feel your child has developmental delays and needs help, #AskForEasterseals. All it takes to get started is a doctor's referral. To support life-changing care for local children served right here in the Ohio Valley, send your donation to 1305 National Road, Wheeling, WV 26003.

It's Disability Pride Month! Join us in celebrating diversity through disability. Learn from people with disabilities whose voices are loud and proud. You don't know what you don't know. One such person is Theo W. Braddy from the National Council on Independent Living. In the image below, he states: "Ableist ideas and beliefs affect people with disabilities in all aspects of life, including employment, healthcare, education, housing, transportation, etc. These ideas and beliefs create systems that discriminate and oppress people with disabilities." This quote originally appeared in Good Housekeeping in April 2024. How can YOU make a difference for people with disabilities today? #EastersealsWV #DisabilityPrideMonth #LearnSomethingNew
