Harry Setian , 84 ans , a aidé pendant 30 ans le centre de rééducation qui l’avait soigné

Harry Setian, a native of Indian Orchard and resident of nearby Wilbraham, was a patient some years at the respected Life Care Center of Wilbraham, a well-known rehabilitation facility. He “rehabbed” there after two knee operations.

Putting it mildly, he truly appreciated the care he received: “…the people were great…”, he recalls with fondness. This was his second sense of appreciation from the facility.

Prior to that many years ago, his mother—known in the community as “Degeen Maree”—was a patient.

He truly appreciated the care his mother  received: “…the people were great…mom was well taken care of… many members of our community have been here…”, he recalls with his trademark little boy smile.

He reciprocated in appreciation for the good care his mother received and became a volunteer in many respects.

For some 30 years, he has donated his time and skills to help maintain the Life Care facility.

“Harry has built us wheelchair accessible ramps as well as outside planters that are used by patients and  residents to grow vegetables and flowers, uplifting spirits,” explained Dennis Lopata, executive director of Life Care. “Over the years, he has also helped on numerous other projects to restore or repair our facility, including our gazebo, as well as manning the facility gift shop for many years with his wife Liz. If he sees something needs to be done, he does it.”….
