For over two decades, PRMA Plastic Surgery has served patients from across the globe. Patients travel to PRMA to gain access to the advanced breast reconstruction techniques and expertise the practice offers. When patients choose to travel for their reconstructive surgery, they are typically required to stay in the local San Antonio area for about a week after being discharged from the hospital.
Now traveling patients have a new option for a place of recovery after surgery—Rose’s House.
Pat and Phil Gonzalez are no strangers to the journey of breast reconstruction surgery. After undergoing reconstructive surgery at PRMA herself, Pat developed a full understanding of what needs women have while recovering. She also learned that many women travel to undergo surgery. That’s when she and her husband decided to open Rose’s House.
Upon the passing of their dear neighbor, Rose, Pat and Phil purchased her home. With hearts of service, they immediately began planning to turn Rose’s House into a private recovery oasis for breast cancer patients traveling for surgery. With the help of local community members, who are now considered friends, Rose’s House became a quick reality.
Equipped with a recliner chair, a shower stool, multiple bedrooms, and many other items patients may need during their recovery, this private home is the perfect place for breast reconstruction patients to heal immediately after surgery. “We support patients and their caregivers during one of the most difficult times of their lives,” share Phil and Pat. “We understand your unique needs because we have been there.”
