Ms. Williams-Ball's Success Story
From Cornerstone Specialty Hospitals Bossier City
Earlier this year, Ms. Williams-Ball was in a car accident that left her with a traumatic brain injury, multiple rib fractures, c-spine, and t-spine fractures. After beginning her recovery at Lafayette General Hospital, Ms. Williams-Ball transitioned to Cornerstone Specialty Hospitals Bossier City to receive continued care.
When Ms. Williams-Ball arrived, she was on a ventilator and required maximum assistance for all self-care and mobility needs. From day one at Cornerstone, Ms. Williams-Ball’s family played an important role in her treatment plan.
Within a few days, our clinical team weaned Ms. Williams-Ball from the ventilator so she could breathe on her own again! With this respiratory progress, Ms. Williams-Ball made great strides with the rehabilitation team.
On discharge day, Ms. Williams-Ball was able to walk with stand-by assistance to greet her daughter with a hug! We’re so thankful for the opportunity to serve Ms. Williams-Ball and her family! We wish her the best as she continues her journey at inpatient neurorehabilitation.

Care for Complex Conditions
Patients come to our hospitals with serious conditions such as respiratory failure, complex wounds, sepsis, stroke, congestive heart failure, or even a combination of these. Their diagnoses are often complicated by existing health problems like diabetes or COPD. Many of our patients require treatments such as mechanical ventilators, dialysis, or IV therapy.
