Face Of The Day
Miguel Lopez, largely paralyzed from the chest down, lies in his bed at
home on November 9, 2009 in Denver, Colorado. Lopez, a Mexican
immigrant whose three children were born in the United States and are
American citizens, broke his neck last summer while playing with his
daughters on a backyard trampolene. Formerly a construction worker,
Lopez had no health insurance when the accident occurred. He receives
home health care visits from Dominican Sisters Home Health Agency, a
non-profit that performs some 25,000 home visits each year in the
Denver area. It provides free home nursing care to patients with
chronic diseases, helps them to better manage their disabling illnesses
and provides custodial services with the aim of keeping patients in
their homes and out of more expensive nursing home care. By John
