Johnnie Tuitel Motivated by Mary Free Bed

Johnnie Tuitel came to Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital in March 2013. The celebrated West Michigan author, motivational speaker, and disability advocate with cerebral palsy was found barely conscious, having spent nearly 9 hours in freezing temperatures after falling from his wheelchair. Emotionally drained, with frostbitten fingertips and a mild brain injury, Johnnie found in Mary Free Bed a place not only to recover, but to also be transformed. Johnnie says, “Mary Free Bed gives you hope for your mind, body and spirit to make sure that a person comes out of here ready to tackle the world and become the best person they choose to be.”
