West York man returns home - FOX 43
May 20, 2023 – Joseph “Spike” Bahn arrived at Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of York unable to walk after a massive head injury. In April, Bahn was involved in a golf cart accident, and his injuries required intensive rehabilitation.
“To come back from an injury like this and be independent again is a huge accomplishment,” Lindsey Keffer, hospital nurse, told FOX 43.
Bahn was determined to make it back home. After one month of recovery at Encompass Health York, the day came to finally return home. Bahn walked out of the hospital to a cheering crowd of nurses and therapists.
“Oh, it feels so good,” Bahn said just before he left the hospital.
Bahn worked with a team of expert rehabilitation nurses and clinicians to learn to walk again – putting in the work every day.
“He was progressing every day,” said Tessa Golder, Encompass Health York nurse. “He was motivated to work hard for us.”
Bahn plans to return to West York High School, where he is an athletic manager.
“I’ll have the summer off so I can rest up before August,” Bahn said. “Go Bulldogs!”
