Dr. Glen House and his NAVIONE® Wheels Conquer Pikes Peak Challenge

Dr. Glen House is a practicing physician, athlete, inventor, and a quadriplegic. After a skiing accident in college left him with a C7 injury, Glen’s quest for becoming a doctor and helping others did not stop. Dr. House was the first  wheelchair rider to graduate from the University of Washington Medical School with training and residency at highly regarded institutions; including Baylor College of Medicine and Kessler Institute. He took his passion further with expanded expertise in spinal cord and brain injuries. Now Dr. House enjoys his active and healthy life in Colorado, speaking, researching, and continuing to practice rehabilitation medicine to serve his community.
