How do emotions impact recovery? David Harrington, President and Chief Executive Officer of CNS, and Dr. Gary Seale, Regional Director of Clinical Services at CNS, talk about the significant role that positive emotions play in patient recovery. This episode explores the benefits of being in a positive emotional state: ability to process information quickly and accurately, boost to the immune system, and there's a less likely chance to trigger the flight or fight response that can lead to risk factors for stroke.

When Dr. Mark Ashley’s brother, Steve, became disabled after a devastating event in 1972, conventional rehabilitation therapy gave no hope for recovery. Dr. Ashley made it his mission to find a way for Steve to regain his independence through post-acute rehabilitative care. His recovery became the model for CNS’ ongoing philosophy of practice and our belief that people with brain injuries should have a place to heal.
