You know there's good stories, and Kent's a really good speech maker, but he has said many times: speeches are so easy here because I have so many good stories to tell, and it starts with yours, Susan.
Imagine having your life turned upside down by a car crash, only to find yourself on a path you never expected. In this compelling episode of 'Rehabilitationships', Kent and Susan Riddle open up about their journey from a devastating accident to leading a renowned rehabilitation hospital. Twenty years ago, a car crash left Kent with a brain injury, and their lives were forever changed.
But out of this tragedy came an unexpected twist—Kent's eventual role as CEO of Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation. Hosted by Phil Tower, a seasoned radio broadcaster turned podcast host, this episode picks up where the first part left off. Susan is back home after her rehab at Mary Free Bed, and Kent is on the hospital board.
As Kent shares his story, you'll hear about the moment he was asked to lead the hospital and the early days of his leadership when big decisions had to be made. Susan also discusses her decision to go back to school to become an occupational therapy assistant and what giving back means to her. This episode dives deep into the power of rehabilitation, the significance of occupational therapy, and how the Mary Free Bed Guild has shaped the hospital's culture.
Through their heartfelt conversation, Kent and Susan remind us all that hope and perseverance can turn even the darkest times into opportunities for growth and leadership. Tune in to hear an inspiring story that underscores the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of rehabilitation.
