COVER STORY family ties

Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare was designed as a state-of-the-art facility to serve patients and help them achieve maximum recovery.

But we didn’t forget about their families.

Our highly trained medical and rehabilitation specialists understand how crucial families are to the outcomes of individuals dealing with both short- and long-term disability.

A spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, stroke, or developmental delay affects not just the individual patient, but their entire family, which is coping with its own stress and anxiety. “We think about all aspects of the family’s emotional health,” said Felice L. Loverso, PhD, Casa Colina President and Chief Executive Officer. “We ask, what can we build into the environment that helps a family heal alongside the patient?”

With Casa Colina’s 80-year history of excellence, the Bosserman family knew it represented their mother, Barbara’s, best possible chance for recovery after she suffered a stroke in November 2011. As a respected medical oncologist at Casa Colina Hospital, San Antonio Regional Hospital, and now City of Hope Medical Center, Linda Bosserman, MD, FACP, FASCP, understands the importance of personalized care and the difference it can make in healing. Dr. Bosserman and her siblings—Nancy Bryant, Susie The doctors, Fraize, and Steve Bosserman—found comfort in the therapy, and intimate environment of Casa Colina, knowing their teaching at Casa mother’s needs would not get overlooked in the hustle Colina let our and bustle of a larger facility. Most of all, the siblings appreciated access to “the mother spend remarkably talented, patient, and kind teams of docs, her final years nurses, and physical and occupational therapists who doing what she convinced our mom she could and would walk again,” enjoyed most— said Dr. Bosserman. Barbara Bosserman was an intrepid ’50s woman, sharing life and married out of high school and determined to raise laughter with empowered, independent children. She taught them how to her family and cook and sew, knit and crochet, camp, hit a tennis ball, and inspiring each play and sing music. She encouraged each in their diverse interests and in “how to sacrifice for the important of us to make a things in life and for each other,” said Dr. Bosserman. difference in the Unfortunately, Barbara had a history of hypertension lives we touch. and of smoking, though she had quit cigarettes decades Dr. Linda Bosserman before. The stroke left her dominant leg and arm weak and dysfunctional. But Casa Colina’s therapists “held a vision of her healing even when she’d get discouraged,” said Dr. Bosserman. After about three weeks of intensive therapy, Barbara was discharged—but only after Casa Colina experts did a home assessment and made recommendations to the family to ensure her safety. Casa Colina’s beautifully appointed campus became her home away from home during Barbara’s months of outpatient physical therapy. Aquatic therapy and other showers and beach days and to welcome her first strength-building exercises increased her confidence great-grandchildren. and mobility. “Casa Colina experts gave our mom seven more vital Watching their mother get stronger and be able to years,” said Dr. Bosserman. “The doctors, therapy, and play her beloved bridge again and spend time with her teaching at Casa Colina let our mother spend her final grandsons also gave her children a sense of joy. years doing what she enjoyed most—sharing life and Over the next five years, Barbara would suffer laughter with her family and inspiring each of us to make additional health setbacks involving two more strokes. a difference in the lives we touch.” Her family worried she would not be able to reclaim In July 2018, Barbara passed away at age 84. “My any of her independence.

He came to Casa Colina for rehabilitation after being severely injured in a traffic accident while attending the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. The whole Dantzscher family was there to see Jalynne’s sister, Jamie, compete with the United States women’s gymnastics team, which would go on to win the bronze medal. On a day that was supposed to be filled with sightseeing, John and another daughter, Jennifer, were riding in a cab when it was struck by a bus that ran a red light. Jennifer’s injuries were relatively minor, but John sustained a fractured skull, two collapsed lungs, fractured wrist, and more.
