A woman who was struck and nearly killed by a garbage truck while riding her bike to work says “if I could go back and change it, I wouldn’t,” because of what she’s gained in life, including the ability to help others with a new support group for trauma survivors like herself.
The program she is spearheading is called My BEST, which stands for “beyond surviving to thriving.” It’s a peer support group at St. Michael’s Hospital, where Harvey was treated, for patients who have suffered traumatic injuries. Its first meeting will be on April 7.
