“Every interaction shapes the patient experience, making CNAs and patient care techs essential to healing, outcomes and the human connection at the bedside every day.” — Melissa Beers, senior vice president, clinical operations, specialty hospitals.
Our nursing assistants and patient care technicians spend the most time with our patients. They are essential eyes and ears, informing care team colleagues of any subtle changes in a patient’s mood or ability to accomplish a particular activity. This, in turn, helps to support recovery progress and outcomes.
For six weeks, David Thigpen was without his “shadow,” the partner always by his side. His wife Debbie fell at their home, and what seemed minor was actually a life-threatening traumatic brain injury. David’s quick thinking saved her life. Through the continuum of care at Select Specialty Hospital - Gainesville and UF Health Rehabilitation , Debbie fought her way back, relearning to breathe, eat, talk and walk. Today, the Thigpens are side by side again and back to the life they love.

March is Brain Injury Awareness month. According to the Brain Injury Association of America, someone in the United States sustains a brain injury every nine seconds. A brain injury can affect how a person thinks, acts and feels.
Brain injuries can result from an outside force to the head, known as a traumatic brain injury (TBI), or an internal cause – known as a non-traumatic brain injury (NTBI).
Learn more about the difference between a TBI and NTBI below, and check back throughout the month as we spotlight brain injury and how we help people recover.
