Twice-retired, Dr. Glass now donates her medical expertise at the Volunteers in Medicine Clinic in Stuart, Florida. Dr. Glass acted as MossRehab’s Assistant Medical Director from 1968 to 1970 and Medical Director from 1970 to 1982. Supportive teamwork at MossRehab, Dr. Glass said, fueled the progress of many innovative programs. During her tenure, the MossRehab administration and medical staff implemented one of the first day hospitals in the field. After shortened hospital stays, patients went home nightly and returned daily for typical inpatient routines. Transitions from inpatient to outpatient status improved as people felt more comfortable returning to their own surroundings sooner.

Throughout her career, Dr. Glass has always approached her patients and profession holistically. “To practice effective medicine, we mustn’t treat just physical conditions, but people with emotions, life plans and important connections to others and their communities who have disabilities that we address together.” This belief was fully evident at MossRehab where she developed a comprehensive program addressing the education of patients, their families and the public about the disabled person’s right to sexuality. In addition, she developed training for MossRehab staff and an innovative instructional program for rehabilitation centers along the east coast. Today, rehabilitation programs routinely address sexuality as a vital component of patients’ lives regardless of sex, sexual orientation, age and disability type.
