Saipan to San Diego: Global Patient Services in action
After a life-changing injury in Saipan, a young man’s journey to recovery takes him thousands of miles to San Diego.
Grant Affleck was in the prime of his life when he began experiencing radiating pain in his low back and down his legs. It was the onset of his spinal problems. By age 44, Grant had severe, degenerative arthritis and had to medically retire from a job he loved.
After multiple surgeries at Sharp Memorial Hospital and extensive rehabilitation at Sharp Allison deRose Rehabilitation Center, Grant’s recovery enabled him to volunteer at Sharp HospiceCare homes as a compassionate listener to patients and families.
