Life-changing knee surgery

Pablo lived with severe and increasing knee pain that eventually became so debilitating that he could not work. Knee replacement surgery changed his life.

“Project Access Northwest changed my life 180 degrees. As a single dad, I’m now able to support my son, remain employed and live life to the fullest.”

Our patient Pablo was hobbled by a severe knee deformity. While he struggled with increasing pain for years, he couldn’t afford proper medical care. Out of desperation, he crafted his own homemade brace. This allowed him to walk a bit, but maintaining a job became all but impossible.

How could he support his son? What hope did he have?

 

That’s when health care coordinated by Project Access Northwest made all the difference…

Pablo received life-changing knee replacement surgery — at no cost to him — and today he is thriving at work and at home. He’s confident he can support his family financially and keep up with his growing son!
