In this powerful #Podcasthon episode of CareLab, hosts Brandy Archie, OTD, OTR/L, and Emilia Bourland welcome Sam Porritt, founder of the Falling Forward Foundation. Sam shares his personal journey of overcoming a spinal cord injury sustained during a vacation in Italy and how his experience in rehabilitation inspired him to advocate for others facing similar challenges. The conversation highlights the critical gaps in rehabilitation coverage due to therapy caps, which often cut patients off from care before they reach their full recovery potential. Sam discusses how his foundation helps fund continued rehab for individuals left without insurance support, changing lives in the process. Listeners will hear inspiring recovery stories, including a father of ten who regained his independence after a severe brain injury and a teenager who survived a traumatic accident and fully recovered with extensive therapy. 🎧Listen now and join the movement to support recovery for all!
