CONNECTICUT  (April 10^th, 2025)   In the ICU,  patients on life support and ventilation can be a frightening visual of stillness.  But in this ICU, it is exactly the opposite.   In fact, patients on life support are assisted to rise, walk and reclaim their lives. In this uplifting story within Hartford Hospital’s Surgical Intensive Care Unit, movement, dedication and determination are put to the test every day…and the results can be extraordinary!
