"But Chelsea ultimately wanted to eat and drink normally, to spit, to swallow a pill, to close his mouth—and, most of all, he said, to kiss Ebony on the cheek."
Teamwork makes the dream work. Lucky to be part of the incredible team helping Robert accomplish his goals!
Robert Chelsea turned down the first face he was offered. It had belonged to a man with skin that was much fairer.
It took more than a year for Chelsea to get a second call. He’s the first African American to receive a face transplant ti.me/2p9v5rG

Bravo to Drs. @megan_schliep and @rkomesidou. Amazing talk about such important work @ #ImpSciCSD22! #implementationrockstars
A big win preceded by numerous losses. Very grateful to an amazing group of past, present, and future mentors who kindly encouraged me to persevere. I can’t wait to do this work and to help center patient voices in dysphagia management.
It was a pleasure to share my work on biomechanical biomarkers of tongue impairment during swallowing in persons living with ALS with the UK Swallowing Research Group. Thanks for the invite. Great learning from an amazing group of researchers & clinicians! #UKSRG2022 @UKSRG2

To provide care that matters we need to ask what matters ❤️❤️❤️

What’s going on here? And why it’s key in #COVID19
It’s quite simple: we finally had the #wisdom to ask Mr. D the right question! He and his wife encouraged us to use this picture to teach what we learned.

I just ❤ this. No SLPs involved, but a great example of how much eating can mean and why considering patient preferences for eating is so very important.
Very fortunate to be part of this incredible team. Carmen’s strength, determination, and never ending positive outlook are truly inspiring...
