Participant Highlight: Shannon's Story
Shannon joined PACE Central Michigan in August 2022 after a challenging recovery from severe COVID-19, which required intubation and extended care far from home. With her family's support, she transferred closer to home for rehabilitation and, after being discharged, began PACE services. Initially needing full assistance with daily tasks, Shannon regained strength and independence through determination and the dedicated care of the PACE team. She now walks with a walker, completes tasks like showering and doing dishes, has returned to church, and lives independently. Grateful for the support, Shannon says, "Every department makes me feel like a princess," and continues to inspire others with her remarkable recovery.
