“As former professional athletes these guys know a little something about injuries and recovery and it was great to see them offer encouragement and interact with our patients,” says Shane Crisp, Chief Operations Officer, Memorial Hermann Pearland Hospital. “We want to provide our patients with a warm, healing environment every day and some smiles and simple words of encouragement from special visitors go a long way toward helping our patients.”
Former players Jermaine Fazande, Michael Hicks, Todd McArthur and Joseph Wesley walked the halls stopping to talk with patients and staff along the way. “These are the same people who supported us when we were on the field and it means a lot to be able to offer them encouragement,” said Joseph Wesley, president, NFL Players Association Former Players Houston Chapter. “We really had a great day and can’t wait to come back again.”
