Mary grew up in New Jersey and was heavily influenced by her grandmother, who was an osteopathic physician.  That influence led Mary to prioritize her physical, spiritual, and intellectual health...all qualities that served her well as Valedictorian of her nursing class and eventually as a nurse serving our amazing veterans.  

     When Mary began with Achieva Rehab, her osteoarthritis left her with limited tolerance to upright activity as well as great difficulty in propelling her wheelchair throughout the assisted living facility.  She had fallen multiple times while transferring, secondary to weakness and pain in her legs.  Her belief in exercise and her faith and ever-positive attitude was vital to her rehab, and at the time of discharge, she was able to transfer independently and safely and she now gets around in her wheelchair with less difficulty.  We have great admiration for this wonderful woman and thank her for her service.
