Ikigo cya Wright cyita ku buzima bw’abaturage cyashyizweho nk’ikigo nderabuzima cyujuje ubuziranenge (FQLA) muri Gicurasi 2019, kuri ubu kikaba gitanga inzu y’ubuvuzi yuzuye ku barwayi barenga 20.000, abarenga 40% muri bo bakaba badafite ubwishingizi, badafite ubwishingizi cyangwa bafite amikoro make. . Ubufatanye bukomeye n’ibitaro na sisitemu byaho, Ikigo cy’ubuvuzi cya Veteranse, Ikigo nderabuzima cyujuje ibyangombwa (FQHC), hamwe n’imiryango idaharanira inyungu ishyigikira kandi igateza imbere ubutumwa.

Abanyeshuri biga ubuvuzi bo muri AT Still University of Osteopathic Medicine muri Arizona (ATSU-SOMA) nabo bazatangira kuzunguruka muri iyi myitozo mishya guhera muri Nyakanga 2020, amahirwe afite ubushobozi bwo kuzamura cyane umuyoboro utanga isoko mu majyaruguru yuburasirazuba bwa Pennsylvania.

Mu mpera za Kamena, Grace McGrath yari mu majyaruguru ya Kaliforuniya, yitegura kwitabira imyitozo ya US Open kuri Pebble Beach, ubwo yabonaga telefoni itunguranye. Ijwi kurundi ruhande ryari rifite amakuru akomeye yo gusangira - Inzozi za McGrath kuva kera zo kwiga ishuri ry'ubuvuzi zari hafi kuba impamo. Muri icyo gihe, McGrath, wari umuhuzabikorwa w’ubuzima rusange mu kigo cy’ubuzima bw’abaturage cya Wright ndetse no ku rutonde rw’abategereje kugira ngo yemererwe mu ishuri ry’ubuvuzi, yagize ati: "Byari inzira nziza yo kurangiza icyumweru."

Nyuma y'ibyumweru bike, umuturage wa Dunmore w'imyaka 25 y'amavuko yatangiye urugendo rwambukiranya igihugu na se i Mesa, AZ maze atangira umwaka wa mbere w'ishuri ry'ubuvuzi muri AT Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine muri Arizona (ATSU-SOMA ), umufatanyabikorwa w'ikigo cya Wright gishinzwe ubuzima bw'abaturage.

McGrath ni we muntu wa mbere utuye mu gace ka Scranton hamwe n’ikigo cya Wright gishinzwe ubuzima bw’abaturage bemeje umukandida wemerewe kwakirwa muri gahunda ya Hometown Scholars ya ATSU-SOMA, igamije abaganga bazaza bashaka kugira uruhare mu buzima bw’abaturage.

McGrath, umwe mu banyeshuri 10 biga mu mwaka wa mbere w’ubuvuzi wemewe muri iyi gahunda yagize ati: "Igitekerezo ni ukumenya abantu biyemeje gukora imyitozo mu baturage batishoboye, cyane cyane mu gace bavukiyemo." Hamwe no gukora ibintu byose bisanzwe umuntu agomba gukora kugirango asabe ishuri ryubuvuzi, Umuhanga mu mujyi wa Hometown agomba kumara igihe mu kigo nderabuzima kandi agasabwa n’umuyobozi w’ikigo nderabuzima. Ku rubanza rwa McGrath, ibyo yemeje byaturutse kuri Dr. Linda Thomas-Hemak, Umuyobozi mukuru w'ikigo cya Wright gishinzwe ubuzima.

Amahugurwa ya McGrath muri ATSU-SOMA azaba adasanzwe mu yandi mashuri y’ubuvuzi kuko azagira amahirwe yo gusubira muri Scranton mu mwaka wa kabiri. Azahugura mu ishuri kandi akajya no mu kigo cya Wright Centre gishinzwe ubuzima bw’abaturage nibura rimwe mu cyumweru. Ati: “Ubusanzwe, ntushobora kubikora kugeza mu mwaka wa gatatu.” Azakomeza kuzunguruka mu myaka ye ya gatatu n'iya kane, mu gihe azanashyira mu bikorwa uburambe mu bitaro by'akarere.

Umukuru mu bana batanu bo mu muryango wa Dunmore, McGrath yumvise hakiri kare ko inzira ye umunsi umwe ishobora gutuma akora umwuga w'ubuvuzi. Usibye kuba umuhanga muri siyansi, yizeraga ko muri kamere ye yifuza gufasha abantu. Ati: "Nkunda igitekerezo cyo kuba umuntu mucyumba mugihe cyihutirwa azi icyo gukora nicyo kuvuga. Umuntu ushobora kuba iryo jwi ry'ibitekerezo mugihe abantu babikeneye cyane ". “Kandi nkunda gukora nk'itsinda.”

Ibyabaye mubuzima bwe akiri muto nabyo byagize uruhare runini.

Urugero, igihe nyirarume, umushinjacyaha w’ibanze, Harry McGrath, yitabye Imana mu mwaka wa mbere wa kaminuza, inshuti magara y’umuryango, umuganga ubaga plasitike wo mu gace ka Scranton, Dr. Eric Blomain, yamuganiriye kuri yo mu buryo bwuzuye impuhwe ku buryo atabishobora. ' t fasha ariko wumve uhumurijwe.

Nyuma yigihe gito, McGrath yararwaye maze amara ibyumweru bibiri mu bitaro. Igihe yari ahari, umuganga utuye yahuye na we yamuteye inkunga yo kujya mu ishuri ry'ubuvuzi.

Nkuko bigenda, umuturage yitwaga Grace.

“Cari ikintu c'abantu. Ntabwo byari birenze umuganga winjira akaguha amakuru kumiterere yawe. Yabyitayeho. ”McGrath. Ati: “Byerekana ko ushobora kugira ingaruka ku bantu igihe babikeneye cyane.”

McGrath amaze kurangiza muri kaminuza ya Temple afite impamyabumenyi ya kinesiologiya mu 2016, yashakishije Dr. Thomas-Hemak kugira ngo amugire inama ku cyerekezo cye gikurikira. McGrath yagize ati: "Icyo gihe natekerezaga kubona impamyabumenyi y'ikirenga." “Dr. Thomas yagize ati: 'Kuki utaza gukora hano umwaka umwe kugirango urusheho gusobanukirwa n'ubuvuzi n'ibigo nderabuzima by'abaturage. Urashobora gukorana n'abaturage hamwe nanje. ' Nanjye narabikoze. Kuva icyo gihe, ndi hano. ”

Mu myaka itatu yamaze muri iryo shyirahamwe, yakuze cyane kandi akora imirimo itandukanye. Nkumuhuzabikorwa wubuzima rusange, yakoranye nabarwayi bakorerwa na gahunda zitandukanye zigezweho, cyane cyane ikigo cyita ku barwayi bo hanze (COE) cyo kurwanya indwara ya opioide, binyuze muri gahunda ya AmeriCorps VISTA (Abakorerabushake muri Service to America).

Hagati aho, yatangiye kandi impamyabumenyi ihanitse mu bijyanye na sisitemu y’ubuzima muri kaminuza ya Lehigh, akaba ateganya kurangiza umunsi umwe nyuma y’ishuri ry'ubuvuzi. Kandi ntiwumve, yamaze umwanya munini yitegereza Dr. Thomas-Hemak mubikorwa, haba mubushobozi bwe nk'umuyobozi mukuru ndetse n'umuganga wibanze.

McGrath yagize ati: "Yangiriye neza yangiriye inama haba mu mwuga ndetse no ku giti cyanjye." Ati: “Icyo nahoraga nshimira kuri Dr. Thomas ni inyungu afite mu mibereho igoye y'umuryango no gusobanukirwa n'imiryango myinshi. Buri gihe abaza ibintu nkibi, 'Mama wawe ameze ate?' Niba akeneye kumarana iminota 40 numuntu, amarana nabo iminota 40. Ibyinshi muri byo ubu byatakaye mu buvuzi. ”

Iyo filozofiya yagize ingaruka zikomeye kuri McGrath, amaherezo akaba yifuza gukora mu buvuzi bw'ibanze kuko, nk'uko yabivuze, “Ndashaka kumenya abarwayi banjye; Ndashaka kugirana umubano nabo. ” Kandi, niba umunsi umwe ashobora kwitoza mumuryango usa nubunini nicyerekezo cya Wright Centre yubuzima bwabaturage, ibyiza byose.

Uyu muhango w'abanyeshuri biga ubuvuzi usobanura ko binjiye mu mwuga w'ubuvuzi, kandi, kuri McGrath yari akandi karyo ko gutekereza ku nzira yihariye yo kuba umuganga.

“Byari ibintu bidasanzwe, kandi mu byukuri, umunsi wishimye cyane mu buzima bwanjye. Ndashimira cyane abantu bose bari inyuma yanjye, nkomeza kuntera inkunga yo gukurikirana inzozi zanjye. ”

Aceceka gato, McGrath yagize ati: "Biratangaje ku buryo nzaba mfite imyaka 32 nongeye kubona akazi nyako." “Kuri njye, nubwo, rimwe na rimwe ugomba gufata ibyago. Ndashaka kubyuka mfite imyaka 45 maze gutora akazi nahoraga nifuza. Nkomeje kwibwira nti: 'Shimira kandi ushimishwe.' Ndi nde. ”
