Many hospital departments work closely with Rehabilitation and Therapy.
Our services are provided to patients who suffer from cancer, heart disease,
traumatic injuries, neurological disorders and many other conditions.
We treat both children and adults, and our treatment plans vary in length.
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.
