Wilkes-Barre resident travels to Allentown for intensive rehab after spinal strokes
After two spinal strokes while wintering in Florida, Al Kobusky returned to Pennsylvania and made weekly trips to Good Shepherd’s Hyland Center in Allentown for intensive outpatient therapy to relearn to walk.
While spending the winter in Florida, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.-resident Al Kobusky suffered two spinal strokes.
Hundreds of miles from home and needing to relearn how to walk, Kobusky started thinking about his outpatient rehabilitation needs.
“In Florida, for people down there to tell me, ‘You’re from where? Well, Good Shepherd is the place for you’ — that’s how I first found out about Good Shepherd,” Kobusky said.
Every week, Kobusky traveled one hour from Wilkes-Barre to Good Shepherd’s Hyland Center in Allentown for intensive physical therapy and occupational therapy sessions throughout the week.
Slowly but surely, Kobusky stuck with the intensive program and continued making progress toward his goals.
