#151 - The Ingredients for the Making of a Model SCI Rehabilitation Center with Matt Wilks
Robotic exoskeletons, augmented reality systems, adaptive technologies, and whole-hearted care of the human person at the center of it all – this might sound like something out of a futuristic medical novel, but in fact this list is just a part of what goes into the creation of a cutting edge, "Model SCI Facility". In this Trauma Healing Learning, we catch up with Matt Wilks, who is part of the leadership team and the Chief Rehabilitation Officer for Sheltering Arms Institute, one of the nation’s most elite SCI and TBI Rehabilitation Centers and Hospitals, strategically placed in Richmond, VA. Join us to discover more about the research and implementation of new technologies for SCI rehabilitation, and what role human care and contact and transparency of medical records plays in ensuring healing experiences for families to complement cutting-edge tech.
Matt Wilks is a Physical Therapist, and the Vice President and Chief Rehabilitation Officer for Sheltering Arms Institute in Richmond, VA. Outside of his expertise in the field of Physical Rehab and his passion for medical research and implementation, he also has profound personal experiences of family medical crisis and the healing power of faith.
