Briefly: A Happy Birthday; Unhappy Events at the Gym
Featuring ROHO, Permobil, the Permobil Foundation, and United Spinal Association.

ROHO Celebrates Golden Anniversary

Happy 50th birthday to ROHO, whose “dry floatation” technology was created by Robert H. Graebe in 1973.

The milestone was celebrated at the ROHO facility in Belleville, Ill., on Sept. 23. According to Permobil, who acquired ROHO in 2015, the event included factory tours, music, children’s activities, food, and prize giveaways. Original ROHO memorabilia was on display, and Permobil Foundation Executive Director Ashley Davis presented a guest with a new TiLite wheelchair.
