Our UMass Memorial Medical Center caregivers were beyond touched by Ella's story of strength, inspiration and her journey to recovery — and express their gratitude right back to you and your family, P. Cory Hogan.
💔 Taking a chance here on a very personal post to answer some questions, share some gratitude. Please don't read on if that's not your thing. Situation: On July 4th, my 17-year-old daughter Ella fell very high from a tree she was climbing in our backyard. A young cousin found her conscious but seriously injured, including no sensation below her waist. Mom and I rushed to her side and held Ella's hands as the local police and ambulance team arrived. The crew stabilized her and set up a nearby helicopter landing zone. Ella was then flown to UMass Memorial Trauma Center with mom still by her side. Emergency CT scans, MRIs, and X-rays revealed Ella's injuries included a burst fracture in her T-12 vertebrae. The resulting compression damaged her spinal cord and nerves, rendering her paralyzed. Emergency posterior short-segment fixation surgery was performed to stabilize her back with rods and screws to relieve her spine of pressure and hematoma. Ella spent 19 days in that hospital recovering and then was transferred to Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. She spent another 25 days there, learning wheelchair skills, managing body functions, and attempting to walk again. On Aug 13 - 44 days after her injury and one day before her 18th birthday - Ella finally returned home. Now she is adjusting to the challenges of a new life. She is happy to be closer to her family, friends, and beloved cat Oreo. She is currently paralyzed but makes small improvements almost every day. Ella has a long road ahead, but she is young. We have hope. ❤️ Gratitude: So many people to express gratitude for, including: -Ella's brave, young cousin who found her and got fast help -Local police, fire, and other first responders for timely first-aid -A helicopter pilot who expertly landed at our high school around power lines -Nurses, doctors at UMass Memorial Medical Center who provided constant care and concern -Family who changed summer plans to stay home with our kids -Ella's friends who constantly visited and shared love -Ella's boyfriend who has been a truly loyal and kind partner -Local town and community who provided meals and support -Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital with their team of spinal cord injury (SCI) experts -The adaptive sports community for showing us new possibilities -Screendragon founders, board members, and team for their patience -Health insurance (guess what that helicopter ride cost?) -Wonderful neighbors who installed and decorated a wheelchair ramp -Fellow and past SCI patients for their support and advice -In-home medical and occupational teams for helping us adjust now I could go on and on, but most importantly I share my gratitude for: 🤟 Ella: for her inspiring strength and courage for a life still ahead 🏃♀️ Mom: No one's life has changed more, after Ella Career and business remain fun and exciting. I'm not stopping. But I will always work with a bit more perspective now. Life is truly precious. Hug and love.

We love hearing about the positive experiences interns like Bianca Fitch have here at UMass Memorial Health. Thank you for sharing your journey, Bianca, and for inspiring future interns who will leave their mark here — just like you have.
This summer, I had the privilege of interning with UMass Memorial Health as a Career Path Intern in the Medical Group Administration Department. This has been an incredible experience, as I was able to gain hands-on experience that has deepened my understanding of the healthcare industry and the complexities of managing healthcare operations. I want to sincerely thank my manager, Paula Gilmartin, and the entire Medical Group Administration team for your guidance, support, and for providing such a dynamic, respectful, and professional environment. I am so grateful that I was able to work with such brilliant individuals! I would also like to thank the healthcare professionals across various departments within the UMass Memorial Medical Center, including the Office of Clinical Integration, UMMH Cancer Center, and OB/GYN that graciously took the time to meet with me and discuss their careers and operations within the organization. Your insight and advice has meant so much. This internship experience has solidified my passion for working in the healthcare industry, and I look forward to pursuing a career in healthcare and making a positive impact in the industry!
