Supplemental Materials Video : Ashleigh Barkas Video : Volunteer Shares Lifelong Connection to Cottage Health Empowerment Takes Center Stage NEW: When the human spirit and medical rehabilitation team up together, the impossible can become possible. “The world says, You are a spastic quadriplegic. I say, I’m a dancer. There’s a new movement happening in the world. People are beginning to realize they are more than what they’ve been told they are. Every moment is a new moment to do what’s never been done before.” – from Storm Reading There is transformative power in the arts. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Storm Reading – the play that has inspired audiences around the world – Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital hosted this special empowerment event at the Lobero Theatre. The central character is Neil Marcus, who played himself during the play’s six- year run. He lives with a very visible disability and works hard to represent life in a realistic way that is not focused on the fear of being different. Storm Reading spotlights Neil’s relentless pursuit of living life in an artistic and poetic way. Tiara Ball – Honoring First Responders and Cottage Caregivers UPDATED: The Tiara Ball is an annual Cottage Health event to honor caregivers from Cottage’s emergency, trauma and critical care services and to celebrate the inspiring stories of former patients. More than 500 guests registered for the 2019 event, which also raised over $500,000 to benefit these critical, life-saving services. To help include more staff who work in these departments, Cottage Health sponsors more than 50 nurses and residents to allow them to attend and be recognized at the fund raising event.
