From ICU to Independence: Holly’s Journey, Part 1
Show: In Their Words
In this inspiring episode of In Their Words, grateful patient Holly Brown shares her journey of survival and recovery after a severe battle with COVID-19. Just weeks after her wedding in fall 2021, Holly was hospitalized with blood clots, pneumonia, and spent three weeks in the ICU.
Through intensive care, rehabilitation, and UPMC’s pulmonary rehab program, Holly relearned to walk, rebuilt her strength, and reclaimed her life. Now off oxygen during the day, she reflects on the unwavering support of her care team.
Join us to hear Holly’s inspiring story and her heartfelt encouragement to others facing similar challenges: "If it wasn’t for this service, I wouldn’t be where I am today."
