West Plains, MO. – Just recently Ozarks Healthcare has donated a gift to a local pediatric patient in need.
The patient is Jessi Minnich of Winona, an 8 year-old girl. Minnich was diagnosed with arthrogryposis while still an infant. Arthrogryposis symptoms can often involve development of abnormal tissues and nerves within the body, causing the subject to experience a small range of movement, if any.
Minnich has been receiving therapy to increase her range of motion since she was 1 year old. Ozarks Healthcare donated a Hoyt Lift System and shower chair to help Minnich and her father David at home.
