HealthSouth Valley of the Sun Patients Who Survived Home Explosion to Speak at Reunion
9/08/2015
GLENDALE, Ariz. – It’s nothing short of a miracle they survived. Tiara Del Rio and her boyfriend Beau Zimbro nearly burned to death when their Peoria home exploded due to a gas leak. Over a period of three months, the couple went through countless surgeries to receive skin grafts and address other complications before they were transferred to HealthSouth Valley of the Sun Rehabilitation Hospital to relearn how to walk, talk and perform basic daily functions.
Del Rio and Zimbro will present their remarkable story of hope, determination and love to current and former patients on Tuesday, Sept. 22 from 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. at a special rehabilitation reunion being held during National Rehabilitation Week. The event will be held at the hospital which is located at 13460 N. 67th Ave.
“I was fortunate enough to work with both Tiara and Beau during their time at HealthSouth. Both were both very determined to get back to their lives. During treatments, they proved to be very resourceful and have a level of appreciation and awareness of opportunities allotted after their unfortunate event,” says Melissa Buckner, HealthSouth Valley of the Sun occupational therapist.
For those who plan to attend this inspiring event, space is limited. Please send an RSVP to Lori Ferguson at 623-334-5423 or [email protected]. Lunch will be provided after the presentation.
