To end National Rehabilitation Awareness Week with a bang, we celebrated with a Kona Ice truck and dunking booth! Our employees enjoyed refreshing icees in the afternoon and were invited to make a donation to the Brain Injury Adventure Camp in exchange for softballs to knock our CEO, Blake Bunner, into chilly water at the dunking booth. Together, we raised $100 and Blake did not stay dry for long!
In celebration of National Rehabilitation Week, Encompass Health Deaconess Rehabilitation Hospital patients and employees enjoyed a special puppy parade.
Several dogs from the Warrick County Humane Society and were guided by employees around the outside of the hospital.
Patients were encouraged to sit by their windows during this time to participate in the parade. This event was a much needed distraction in this difficult time of COVID-19 and added visitation restrictions.
Ashley Grider and Ashlee Evans, students from University of Southern Indiana, were proud to carry the banner. Hannah Riney, a patient, was excited to participate because she is missing her own dog from home.
After beating COVID-19, musician Steve Barlotta had two goals for rehabilitation: to play saxophone again and be strong enough to walk out unassisted.

Our annual Employee Halloween Costume Contest took place on Oct. 30.

The group/department runner-up went to the therapy department at the satellite hospital at Deaconess Midtown Hospital. They portrayed characters from “A League of Their Own” and had a previous case manager sing the national anthem, who was an extra in the movie.
The individual costume winner was Helen Wagner, HIMS director. She was the magical mermaid, Ariel.

By the second week in the hospital battling COVID-19 and pneumonia, Lafayette Johnson’s lungs collapsed, and his kidneys were shutting down. He had to be placed on a ventilator. By the fourth week, he had a heart attack and was placed on a second life support. When he finally woke up, he was extremely weak.
“COVID-19 devastated every muscle in my body, and I was in a hospital bed for five months,” he said. “I lost 57 pounds and wasn’t even able to stand up. I didn’t give up—even after dying twice. I came back.”
Learn how rehabilitation helped Lafayette get back to his life.
