Adrienne Forst first came to California Rehabilitation Institute as a patient, unsure of what to expect. What she found was a place of healing, strength, and unwavering support.
“It’s hard to explain the impact unless you’ve experienced it firsthand,” Adrienne shares. “From the moment I arrived, I was met with not only incredible care but also extraordinary kindness. The physical and occupational therapy I received—three hours a day—prepared me to return home with full confidence in myself.”
Her week-long stay changed everything—and inspired her to give back. ❤️
“Because of what I experienced, I knew I had to get involved with the Cal Rehab Foundation. The work they do helps people not just while they’re at the Institute, but once they’re back home navigating life. That kind of support is truly life-changing”.
We’re beyond grateful for Adrienne and all our volunteers who turn personal experiences into purpose. Your stories are powerful. Your support is everything. 💫
Interested, become a volunteer at Cal Rehab Foundation.
