J. Glen House
As an undergraduate in the Biomedical Science program at Texas A&M University, Dr. House suffered from a ski accident which resulted in a broken neck and complete spinal cord injury. At twenty years of age, he lost the use of his legs and hand dexterity.
Instead of letting the incident end his dreams of a medical career, Dr. House (now a C7 quadriplegic) became the first student in a wheelchair to graduate from the University of Washington, School of Medicine. In addition to training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. House also specialized in Spinal Cord Injury Medicine at the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation. He is Board Certified in both Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Spinal Cord Injury Medicine.
Now the Medical Director of the Center for Neuro & Trauma Rehabilitation at Penrose Hospital in Colorado Springs, CO, Dr. House understands what his patients are going through. His own experience with spinal cord injury, rehabilitation, and life in a wheelchair allows him to form special bonds with others who have suffered traumatic injuries. Dr. House’s patients have confidence in his passion to provide them with quality care.
Other than being a full time physician and integral part of Disaboom.com, Dr. House is the President of Colorado Rehabilitation Physicians, P.C.; President of the medical device company Flexlife; and Board Member for the Colorado Catheter Company, a business for which he invented and patented new technology to help the disabled.
