Recovering strength after injury or serious illness is about more than physical healing; it’s about restoring independence and quality of life. That focus takes center stage on St. Luke’s Health Now: Restoring Strength Through Physical Medicine, airing Monday, June 1 at 6:30 PM on WFMZ-TV (Channel 69).

The discussion highlights whole-person care, intensive inpatient rehabilitation and the collaborative approach that helps patients regain mobility, function and confidence.
The episode also features an on-location interview with physiatrist Dr. Ashley de Padua, the Medical Director of the Acute Rehabilitation Centers, who shares how medical oversight, evidence-based care and a focus on quality and safety are shaping the future of rehabilitation at St. Luke’s.
