SETTING GOALS
MEETING CHALLENGES

AMPUTEE PATIENT ANNE MEKALIAN
IS BACK TO RUNNING, THANKS TO THE
CARE AND SUPPORT SHE HAS RECEIVED
AT UM UPPER CHESAPEAKE HEALTH'S
REHABILITATION PROGRAM

P

hysical therapy is an important
part of any physical recovery
whether you are struggling with

an injury, surgery or damage from a
chronic disease like diabetes, neuropathy or arthritis. And in a severe case,
when you lose your limbs, effective
occupational and physical therapy
determine your level of independence
and overall quality of life.
The rehabilitation program at UM
Upper Chesapeake Health is an amazing, highly specialized resource treating
a wide number of mobility, balance and
physical issues.
Anne Mekalian, 71, is an amputee
patient who lost all four of her limbs
due to a serious illness nearly seven
years ago. Prior to that, Anne, who
lives in Joppa, was an avid runner.
Her reality today makes staying active
incredibly challenging. However, Anne
is determined. She is a great example
of how a positive attitude and hard
work can achieve what might feel
impossible to many.
