The Nurse in Me - Faith Ibañez' Story - Part One

Faith says her body is like a baby. It needs repetition, patience, and consistency to learn something new. Try. Try again. Try again. She's now washing dishes, folding laundry, walking her neighborhood for an hour at a time — and she's walking fast. In this episode, Faith traces her journey from the ICU to the familiar halls of the rehabilitation center where she once worked as a nurse, and into a life she is actively, intentionally rebuilding. Faith says, "If there is life, there is hope." And she lives that every day.Community Conversation Prompt:In what ways do you consistently work towards improvement these days?Guest's Mentioned Resources:Champion the Challenges - Golf4LifeSanta Clara Valley Medical Center San Jose State University's Occupational Therapy ClinicSkyline Rehabilitation CenterThis episode was presented in partnership with Santa Clara County’s Stroke Awareness Foundation — because through education and awareness, we can save lives and improve the health of our diverse community.
