I am Rita. I am a grandmother and NASCAR fan. I am an enthusiastic mall-walker. I am back on track after knee replacement surgery.

Rita couldn’t wait to get to CarePartners after double knee replacement surgery. She had heard a lot about CarePartners and hoped the therapists there could help her regain the strength needed for mall-walking with her husband of 47 years.

Rita was not disappointed. After her surgery, she spent a week at CarePartners Rehabilitation Hospital, and then started therapy at CarePartners Outpatient Clinic East in Swannanoa. Now, Rita’s walking three miles a day, five times a week – and her husband says he has to work hard to try to keep up with her.
