REALIZING A DREAM FOR IMPROVED REHAB ACCESS
Barnhard said the work will continue far beyond the opening, as she works to raise funds to create an endowment to cover the costs for everyone to be able to attend as well as pay for and maintain modern equipment and the overall facility.
“My goal is
to make changes here in my community. God has only increased my passion is to
do this. It has allowed me to be a therapist again. I get to help people again,”
she said.
With a Memorandum
of Understanding, the center will officially collaborate with the University of
Buffalo on research and education. It is partnering with a local trauma
hospital to help patients and their families with care navigation, resources
and advocacy.
“I don’t
know why, but I have been given an opportunity to improve lives,” Barnhard said
in a reverent and humble tone. “When you can make positive changes that will
create a legacy that last beyond your own life -- that’s profound.”
