changed my life

“I had two complicated hip fractures on the same side and was unable to walk. Adrien and the rest of the crew changed my life. They taught me many things, number one – never give up! It’s like having a squad of cheerleaders behind you, reassuring words. I am still at ReQuest and still learning!”

- Carol V.

“As soon as I walk through the doors, one of the patient care coordinators calls me by my name, welcomes me, and assures me that I am being checked in. The coordinators have followed through with every request that I have had.”
