"From Rehabilitation to Recreation: How Casa Colina Is Redefining Life After Injury"

What happens after the hospital stay ends?

In this powerful episode of Walk and Roll Live, Doug and Addie sit down with two dynamic leaders from Casa Colina in Pomona, California, to explore what true recovery really looks like after neurologic or traumatic injury.

Dr. Rachel Tabak Tran, Director of the Transitional Living Center, shares how post-acute rehabilitation bridges the gap between medical recovery and independent living. From neurologic physical therapy to national leadership in PT education, Dr. Tran explains how Casa Colina prepares individuals not just to function—but to thrive.

Lisa Hilborn, Director of Outdoor Adventures, Recreation Therapy, and Wheelchair Sports, brings the conversation into the world of adaptive sports and community reintegration. With more than 35 years of experience empowering people with disabilities through sport—from wheelchair basketball to Paralympic-level programming—Lisa shares how movement, recreation, and belonging transform lives.

Together, they reveal how Casa Colina supports the full journey—from rehabilitation to recreation—and why recovery is about more than healing the body.

If you or someone you love is navigating life after spinal cord injury, brain injury, stroke, or other neurologic conditions, this episode is filled with insight, hope, and practical wisdom.
