We're proud to tell Landris' story for National Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month and National Rehabilitation Awareness Week.

Landris was a high school junior when he sustained an incomplete spinal cord injury as a result of gun violence. During his admission to Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation Hospital – Center City, he met with Vilma Mazziol, Adolescent and Young Adult Program Coordinator, to discuss his educational goals. Because he attended a cyber school, Vilma worked with his guidance counselor to coordinate coursework so Landris could continue his education while participating in intensive rehabilitation therapies.

Over the next two years, Landris balanced school and rehabilitation while remaining focused on earning his high school diploma. That goal became a reality when he graduated on June 13, 2026. His achievement reflects remarkable perseverance, resilience, and hard work.

On July 24, Vilma coordinated a special graduation celebration at Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation Hospital, allowing staff who supported Landris throughout his journey to congratulate him and celebrate this milestone.

Please join us in congratulating Landris on this accomplishment and wishing him continued success as he begins the next chapter of his journey at the Community College of Philadelphia this fall.

Thank you, Anilda, and to all of our EVS colleagues! 👏

It's EVS Week! So we asked Anilda Cuni, an Environmental Services Associate at Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation, to share a little about herself.

Q: How long have you been at Jefferson?
A: I have been working at Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation for almost five years.

Q: What is your favorite part of your job?
A: What I like most about my job is knowing that the work we do makes a difference for our patients and their families.

Q: What is one thing you do every day to help keep our patients, visitors, and team members safe?
A: I take pride in keeping all my assigned areas clean and doing my best to help prevent the spread of infection. I also enjoy supporting the clinical staff by making sure they have what they need to provide care to our patients. Knowing that my work contributes to a clean, safe, and supportive environment is what makes my job meaningful to me.

Congratulations to Eric Beck, Therapy Aide, on receiving a Mission Moment award for his exceptional dedication, initiative, and perseverance in ensuring continuity of care for our patients. Two of our robotic treadmill systems, which support therapy and wellness sessions for 10 to 12 patients each day, recently required routine maintenance and servicing. Eric took ownership of a complex process that extended far beyond his normal responsibilities. He coordinated directly with a new service provider, completed the extensive vendor approval process to establish the company within our system, scheduled the maintenance visits, and worked diligently to rearrange patient schedules to minimize disruptions in care. Throughout this challenge, Eric demonstrated outstanding problem-solving skills, determination, and a deep commitment to our patients. Thank you, Eric, for everything you do for our patients and colleagues!

“Why can’t I?” That’s the mindset spinal stroke survivor Mary Salisbury carries with her – and it’s the spirit she brought back to Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation's - Riverfront Walk It Out Step‑A‑Thon. Mary spent nearly three months in inpatient rehab and many years doing outpatient therapy after a rare spinal cord stroke. Returning to the Riverfront reminded her just how far she’s come.

Congratulations to Jeffrey Boanes Jr, Security, on receiving a Mission Moment Award! Jeffrey assisted his colleague Keira Aviles-Rivera in locating a missing pin from her power assist wheel, a critical piece for the functionality of her wheelchair. He searched the parking area underneath the building, identified where Keira had last parked and with his flashlight, and found the missing pin! Since then, Keira has been able to safely propel her wheelchair to and from work and around the hospital every day.

Anyone who’s been to Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation over the last seven years has seen Nigel, our facility dog, wandering the halls providing care, comfort, and smiles to all. Thanks to his training with Canine Companions and his handler Peter Delong, Nigel became an integral part of everyday life at Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation for our colleagues and patients alike. Thank you for all the memories, Nigel. Verney and Oona have big, fuzzy shoes to fill!
