title: Life's little miracles. The Recuperation Center helps people heal.
abstract: "I see miracles happen here all the time." That's Dawn Brouwers' assessment of the Recuperation Center (TRC) in Grand Rapids, where she serves as executive director. Brouwers watches people come to TRC unable to walk, and later head for home under their own power. Patients arrive with no idea how they'll be able to live independently again, and leave with supportive systems established in their homes that allow them to be self-reliant.
