Rehabilitation Services’ outpatient department provides services for patients who are living in the community and require rehabilitation therapy to maximize their potential. Patients treated have a wide variety of medical injuries and illnesses that include both neurological and musculoskeletal disorders. Outpatient services are offered at several convenient locations.

Specific Programs

Day Treatment - An intensive rehabilitation program provided to patients who participate in therapy two to five days per week for several hours each day. Services are tailored to meet individual physical, cognitive, and psychosocial needs and routine interdisciplinary team meetings are conducted
The day treatment program is particularly helpful for patients who have experienced a neurological injury or illness including: spinal cord injury, stroke or head injury and need therapy to develop skills to return to home, job or school.

Lymphedema - The outpatient lymphedema program provides services with specially certified therapists. Treatments are designed to reduce swelling and other symptoms caused by damage or malformation of the lymphatic structures, through a combination of special therapies and exercise.

Aquatic Therapy - This specialized therapy uses a warm water pool to allow patients the chance to move in ways they might not be able to do on land. As patients progress, the resistance of water can be used to increase strength.

Industrial Rehabilitation - The Center for Industrial Rehabilitation provides treatment that assists injured workers to return to the work force. In addition to industrial rehabilitation, the center offers consultative services that focus on the prevention of injury in the workplace.

Incontinence Therapy - Treatment provided to improve incontinence centers on a behavioral approach. No medications or surgeries are used, instead, therapists assist the patient in "retraining" muscles and the bladder to cure or lesson episodes of incontinence.
