Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital

Meet Gunnar Matthews, a determined 21-year-old from Mio, Michigan. After a devastating car crash left him with a severe brain injury, Gunnar spent five weeks in the ICU at Munson Medical Center, including 16 days in a coma. His survival was uncertain—but Gunnar’s strength and the unwavering support of his family and care teams at Munson Healthcare and Mary Free Bed have led to a remarkable recovery. Once struggling with basic functions, Gunnar is now walking again and working hard in outpatient therapy at Mary Free Bed in Grayling. Every day, he takes another step toward independence and a future filled with possibility. Gunnar’s journey is a powerful reminder that with time, determination, and the right support, anything is possible. 💪✨
