Mark Blough was diagnosed with paraplegia following spinal canal stenosis and a spinal cord injury. Profound weakness in his lower extremities left him unable to walk and he relied on a wheelchair for mobility. Despite any uncertainty regarding his ability to regain strength in his legs, Mark embarked on his rehab journey with unrelenting motivation, pushing hard to regain his independence and resume his role as a stay-at-home dad to his four children. He made great strides and was discharged from Helen Hayes Hospital with the ability to transfer from his wheelchair and take steps with the help of his orthoses and rolling walker. And he continues his progress today in HHH’s outpatient and wellness programs!
Mark was presented with the Helen Hayes Hospital Continuing Care Cup at the 123rd Helen Hayes Hospital Honors Assembly on September 19, 2023.
