We are so thankful to Palomar Health for inviting us to participate in this years Trauma Survivor’s Day! This event reconnects survivors of traumatic injuries with their care team from the first responders, to the doctors, physical therapist, and more. Firefighter Richard Quevedo met with Leo two years after a motorcycle accident that left him with traumatic injuries.

We are so happy to see Leo made a full recovery. We don’t always get to see the result of our work so it’s always rewarding to meet back up with past patients.
