One day at a time
Transitioning from a supportive medical environment to a changed life after a life-changing injury brings a host of new considerations and concerns that are all normal parts of navigating a patient’s return home, preventing falls, preparing for possible emergencies, coping with possibilities such as substance use, and more.
