Regaining Independence with St. Luke's Rehabilitation
In February 2019, Bruce Au's lungs collapsed and his heart stopped; he was rushed to Providence Holy Family Hospital. He arrived with Influenza A, Influenza B and an infection, all of which escalated when combined with his Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). He spent six days in ICU and was released to the Spokane Veterans Home for inpatient rehabilitation for four and a half months.
St. Luke’s inpatient and outpatient programs are fully accredited by the Joint Commission and CARF International, beacons in the medical community that hold health care facilities to the highest level of consistency and compliance.
