QLI

It’s a day of celebration. A day of unity. A day of reflection.

Today, we honored Juneteenth by celebrating freedom, championing resilience, and embracing the spirit of community that makes QLI a place where everyone belongs.

Congratulations to the QLI Queens, winners of this year's annual Juneteenth Talent Show! While they took home the title, today's celebration was about something more — coming together, honoring history, and creating lasting memories.

A special thank you to all of our East Campus team members who made this day possible and for continuing to foster a culture where connection and belonging persevere and thrive.

On a recent trip to Switzerland with his family, QLI Life Path Services team member Kevin Houston took the initiative to tour the Schweizer Paraplegiker-Stiftung, one of the world's most comprehensive spinal cord injury rehabilitation facilities.

Kevin was given an in-depth tour and explored how the center supports people not just through recovery, but through life after injury.

What he found was a shared vision with QLI and a reminder that advancing rehabilitation requires a willingness to look outward, learn from others, and bring those insights home.

At QLI, we're committed to being part of that global conversation, always learning, always evolving, and always focused on what's possible for our clients.

Thank you, Kevin, for being such an amazing ambassador for us!

What if one of the most promising advances in rehabilitation isn't a new medication or device, but how we train the body to recover?

At QLI, we're not just using Blood Flow Restriction Therapy—we're studying it. Through ongoing research and clinical innovation, we're helping to lead the conversation about how BFR accelerates strength gains and improves rehabilitation outcomes after spinal cord injury.

The results are compelling, and we're just getting started.

Here’s further evidence that QLI doesn’t do traditional fundraisers.

We recently held an unforgettable evening centered around tailored cuisine curated by Chef David Olson and his grilling gurus from Live Fire Republic —Shawn, Brett, Casey from Man vs. Food, and Chan from LA.

This open-fire culinary experience also featured live entertainment by Nashville singer/songwriter, Davey Arnold, and a perfect night under the stars. We are so grateful for the guests who joined us to help propel QLI's expansion efforts forward.

Special thank you to our hosts, Patty & Cliff Karthauser, Laura & Tony Essay, & Paige & Brian Ritter for creating this lovely evening! And to QLI spinal cord injury rehabilitation client, Will DeLaet, for sharing his personal story of relentless pursuit of life following injury.
