An ATV accident left 19-year-old Evan Deisch of Cincinnati, Ohio with a severe traumatic head injury, aneurysm, the left side of his face broken, a broken jaw and a ruptured aorta. After being airlifted then treated at a trauma center, he was transferred to Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital at Norwood to help him return to walking, playing the guitar and fishing. Forming a familial relationship with him in a time where his family couldn’t be inside of the hospital due to COVID-19 visitor restrictions, his therapist Healy even took on the role of barber and gave him a haircut during his stay.
