Nurse Sarah Burns recalls her favorite spinal patient success story.

Sarah:
I feel really lucky to work here because I see so many success stories and one of them is a young girl that came here after a terrible motor vehicle accident. She was in a lot of pain. She couldn’t walk well at all. She was here for quite a while and we really struggled to make her feel comfortable and eventually it was really, really thrilling to see her actually walk out of here with a smile on her face. It was great.
