(PORTLAND, Ore.) - The 76-year-old woman who survived two weeks in the wilderness has now been transferred to Providence Portland Medical Center for rehabilitation therapy. An Angel Flight volunteer pilot flew Doris Anderson to Portland from Baker City, Ore. where she was initially treated at St. Elizabeth Health Services. Her condition is currently being evaluated.

The Sandy, Oregon resident became lost while on a hunting trip with her husband in the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area in Eastern Oregon. She was found 13 days later on Sept. 6th.

Anderson will be under the care and treatment of Molly Hoeflich, M.D., medical director of Providence Acute Rehabilitation Center.

Dr. Hoeflich leads a team of physicians, nurses, physical, occupational, speech, therapeutic and recreational therapists, social workers, chaplains and dieticians.

The team serves patients who have suffered devastating injuries, strokes and other debilitating medical conditions. Through intensive therapy and compassionate care, patients in the 21-bed unit improve functional skills, maximize physical, cognitive, and language skills and regain self-confidence.
