OFficial Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events
Feedback from In-Person Events:
"We were privileged to have Aaron speak at Culture of Caring at Providence St. Joseph Hospital. His story of resilience, hope, gratitude, human connection, and passion for living each day to the fullest inspired our team of over 2,300 caregivers and physicians. We’ve all been challenged the last few years through the pandemic, but to hear Aaron’s “Rebellious Recovery” ongoing for over 23 years inspired us all to fill our hearts with more gratitude and seek ways to help one another and push ourselves. He stayed after to meet and talk with as many of our caregivers as possible. On a side note, I had a chance to mountain bike with him, his determination and joy for being outdoors is inspiring and pushes me to put in some extra hill work as well!"
