CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — The vibrant atmosphere at Siskin Hospital for Physical Rehabilitation recently turned into a full-blown carnival as they celebrated National Rehabilitation Week. This annual event highlights the importance of rehabilitation in the lives of many individuals and showcases the hard work of associates and patients alike.
The celebrations kicked off in spectacular fashion with an Associate Appreciation Breakfast that not only recognized the dedicated staff but also set the tone for the entire week. Everyone is involved as the hospital organized a lively parade featuring colorful carnival characters that made their way through the facility. From clowns to acrobats, the parade brought smiles to the faces of the patients.
As the week progressed, Siskin continued to roll out the fun. The festivities included an Associate Appreciation Luncheon on Tuesday, September 17, where carnival characters were back to entertain everyone. Visitors were treated to stilt walkers that soared high above the crowd, a captivating fire cabaret, and a talented balloon artist who made imaginative balloon creations for the attendees.
Wednesday, September 18, was an especially magical day, dedicated entirely to the patients. The hospital organized a delightful carnival party complete with games, interactive carnival performers, and a variety of activities designed to engage and entertain. The highlight of the day was the appearance of a special guest — Rose, a one-eyed owl from the nearby Chattanooga Zoo. This charming visitor added a touch of nature to the celebration, capturing the hearts of everyone in attendance.
