By Kelly Rogers Building inde Euclid Hospital’s Neuro Day Hospital Program provides unique rehabilitation therapy options Laughter fills the halls as you see patients of all ages playing such games as balloon volleyball and chair hockey. These patients all have one thing in common: They are part of Euclid Hospital’s Neuro Day Hospital Program. While a patient is healing from an illness, surgery or any other medical condition, there are many steps to recovery. This program provides unique therapy to help patients on their path to recovery. The Neuro Day Hospital Program is tailored to treat patients recovering from a wide variety of neurological conditions, but patients with a non-neurological diagnosis are also accepted. Patients attend the program on an outpatient basis two or three days a week, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. “It’s just like school,” says Kathy Light, a Neuro Day participant. “We learn something new every day. Only now our teachers are younger than us.” Kathy’s Story Kathy entered the program after being diagnosed with Guillain–Barré syndrome, an autoimmune disorder that has ascending paralysis, or when paralysis appears first in the lower limbs then the upper limbs. After being treated at Cleveland Clinic she decided to work through her recovery process at Euclid Hospital. When she entered the program, she resembled a noodle, Kathy says. “They called me Scarecrow,” she says, because she loves the movie The Wizard of Oz. Now she is able to walk with the support of only a cane.
