She was unable to work and applied for disability benefits. As a part of 3sHealth’s path to health for plan members, Gwen’s adjudicator Shelley connected Gwen with CBI, 3sHealth’s trusted partner providing rehabilitation. CBI identified that Gwen would benefit from a multidisciplinary treatment program, including physical therapy, kinesiology, occupational therapy, and social work. The occupational therapist, in combination with the social worker, helped Gwen establish a routine for completing her daily activities and her self-care. The care team worked with Gwen to develop strategies for coping in social settings, which helped Gwen participate and engage in her treatment program. 

Gwen successfully returned to work after two years. When Gwen was able to start the return-to-work program, the occupational therapist supported her by monitoring her progress. 

 “I am so thankful to 3sHealth for helping me get through my disability experience,” shared Gwen. “Shelley my adjudicator listened to me when I told her I needed help. I don’t think I would have been back to work yet if I didn’t get the help from everyone involved.”
