What are “rehabilitationships”? Simply put, it’s where rehabilitation and relationships meet.
We set out to discover and share what it really takes to make an extraordinary recovery from an injury or illness, and that’s where the “Rehabilitationships” podcast got its start.
At Mary Free Bed, we know a thing or two about rehabilitation. For over 130 years, we’ve been changing lives and restoring hope and freedom through rehabilitation.
But if you ask our patients, it’s the relationships that set us apart – the connections they’ve made with their therapists, nurses, doctors and everyone who makes a recovery possible. You could say rehabilitation is in our DNA, but relationships are at our heart.
In this new podcast, Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation brings you real stories of recovery from real patients and real clinicians. Join us each month, when we have conversations with real people, who will share their extraordinary experiences of hope and recovery through rehabilitation.
In each episode, released monthly, patients are joined by their clinicians as they chronicle their shared journey. You’ll hear about the challenges they faced and the breakthroughs they made together.
In this trailer you'll hear just a sample of the stories we'll dive into for future episodes. We are so excited to share this with you!

On our first episode of “Rehabilitationships,” we talk with Bryce Burnette. Bryce, a young man from Kalamazoo, Michigan, loves music. He also loves his job, working at a cricket farm. That’s right – a cricket farm!
Bryce’s life changed in an instant in a rollover car crash. He sustained a spinal cord injury, losing almost all function and sensation from his neck down.
Five days after the accident, Bryce transferred to Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital, where he met Laura Meengs, a physical therapist on the inpatient spinal cord injury team. Laura and Bryce’s entire team worked to help him regain his strength and function.
After weeks of hard work, Bryce was able to walk out of the hospital and continue his recovery at home. He also returned to his music and the cricket farm.
Listen to our first episode of “Rehabilitationships” to hear Bryce and Laura share their story together. Find out how rehabilitation and relationships work together to make this recovery sing.
