    Alex’s Story

    For Alex’s parents, rural Ohio seemed like the perfect location to raise a family. In its rolling hills and vast farmland laid the safety and security of a small town setting. The schools were filled with neighbors’ children and residents did not think twice about leaving the doors to their homes unlocked. That is, until their teenage son became an opiate addict.

    Having trouble getting in and out of a car because the legs are feeling weak? Having trouble carrying groceries because the arms are not as strong as they once were? You could be losing functional mobility. You could be at risk of falling.
