Resources & Support Groups

Many hospital departments work closely with Rehabilitation and Therapy. Our services are provided to patients with cancer, heart disease, traumatic injuries, neurological disorders and many other conditions. We treat both children and adults, and our treatment plans can be as short as a hospital stay or as long as a year or more. Because we touch so many areas, we can offer a wide array of resources to our patients, including:

  • Stroke Support Group – Patients with a history of stroke (as well as their family and caregivers) are invited to join this group to discuss their experiences, their struggles and the impact therapy has had on their lifestyle. Members encourage each other on their stroke recovery journey. Click here to register or call (225) 381-6535.
