The group meets on the third Wednesday of each month at CHRISTUS St. Michael Rehabilitation Hospital. It is open to current patients, caregivers, and community members.
Christina Rabideau, rehabilitation supervisor at CHRISTUS St Michael Health System, said, “Losing a limb is life-changing, not just physically, but emotionally and socially. This group gives people a place to talk openly, ask questions, and realize they’re not alone in their journey. Each amputee’s journey is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Rehabilitation is tailored to each patient’s needs and goals.”
Post-amputation rehabilitation includes physical therapy, prosthetic fittings, psychological counseling, vocational retraining, and lifestyle adjustments.
Donald Sheffield, a participant, said, “Coming to this group helped me realize just how much I needed it. It’s more than just a meeting, it’s a place where we lift each other up and find strength together.”
Participants include people newly adjusting to amputation, those who have lived without limbs for many years, and people at all stages of recovery in between. Meetings are guided by the group’s needs and often feature guest speakers.
