After representing Canada as an Olympic triple jumper in 1992, Oral O'Gilvie was living an active life until an ordinary day on the golf course changed everything.

While out on the course, Oral suffered a stroke. By the time he reached the hospital, he had already lost all feeling on the left side of his body.

With the support of his care team and countless hours of therapy, including time in the therapeutic pool, Oral regained his independence and walked out of the Glenrose on his own just four weeks later.

Your support helps provide life-changing rehabilitation programs, specialized equipment, and innovative therapies that help patients like Oral rebuild their lives.

What looks like a week full of fun is also a chance to build confidence, friendships, and new skills.

This summer, kids in the Glenrose’s Specialized Rehabilitation Outpatient Program (SROP) made pizzas, visited the mall, and tried wheelchair sports, all part of the program’s Functional Futures camp.

Camps like Functional Futures show that rehabilitation happens in many different ways.

“During seated yoga was the first time my body felt light and moveable since my injury,” shares a Glenrose patient.

Therapeutic seated yoga at the Glenrose provides patients the opportunity to try carefully selected postures, breathing techniques, and movement in a safe and supportive environment. The program, which is supported by the Foundation, helps individuals rebuild strength, balance, flexibility, and mobility, while also reducing stress and improving overall well-being.

A devastating car accident at 14 years old left Joe Battaglia with injuries so severe, he was told he might never walk again.

Over the years, Joe returned to the Glenrose several times for rehabilitation following multiple surgeries, including a rare hip amputation. With the support of the Glenrose team, a computer-controlled prosthetic leg, and countless hours of therapy, Joe regained his independence and returned to the activities he loves, like sailing, golfing, and cycling.

Last year, Joe took on the Courage Ride for the first time on his adaptive trike. This September, he's riding again to give back to the hospital that helped him reclaim his life and to help more patients receive the same life-changing care.

Kids from the Language Speech and Hearing Intervention (LSHI) Summer Camp enjoyed a fun-filled week of activities, including a visit to the Royal Alberta Museum and much more!

The camp, which brings together kids who wear cochlear implants — small electronic devices that help provide access to sound — creates opportunities for kids and their families to connect with others sharing similar experiences.

The Glenrose Hospital Foundation is proud to support accessible programming for Glenrose families.

Pediatric outpatients kicked off summer at the hospital’s COOPerative Discovery Summer Camp, bringing together kids for a fun week of making friends and trying out new adventures. Past patients, who are now teenagers, volunteered their time to mentor and share their experiences with campgoers.

From creating beach sand jars to colouring and park activities, the camp gave kids opportunities to express their creativity, grow their problem-solving skills, and connect with others.

After separate accidents left Kuen and Vicky with incomplete spinal cord injuries, both faced challenges regaining movement in their hands.

Their journeys led them to a clinical trial at the Glenrose exploring how neurostimulation, paired with rehabilitation, could help the nervous system rebuild connections needed for movement.

For Kuen, it was seeing her thumb move after years without movement, and for Vicky, a chef and musician, it meant gaining better hand control to return to her passions.

Led by Dr. Jessica D'Amico and her research team, this study is helping explore more personalized approaches to spinal cord injury rehabilitation and how emerging therapies can support meaningful improvements in daily life.

Made possible through joint funding from Praxis Spinal Cord Institute and the Glenrose Hospital Foundation, this research is helping shape new approaches to rehabilitation and explore what more may be possible for recovery.
