Jacquie Solomon, OHI Scholarship Recipient, Faces a Health Opportunity with Courage

“Many people living in San Diego know OHI,” said Jacquie Solomon, a recent OHI scholarship recipient. “It has a wonderful reputation. It wasn’t until I faced my own health challenge that OHI became so pivotal in my life. In 2022, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Melanoma. I took a fall, lost consciousness, and hit the back of my head. I spent a week in the hospital. My memory was fuzzy, my balance was off, my energy was completely depleted, and I needed a walker to get around. I couldn’t afford OHI, but I didn’t know where else to turn. My son reached out to OHI and detailed my health status. They were generous enough to provide me with a scholarship, and I immediately booked a 3-week stay. The first week, my energy was so low that I only left my room to eat. The second week I started to come around. My energy was up, I didn’t need the walker quite so much, and I was able to attend some classes. The third week I felt like a different person. I went to every class I could. I didn’t use the walker at all, and my energy was greatly improved. I was thrilled!”
