The Rehabilitation Services Department is comprised of physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists who evaluate and treat people with health problems resulting from injury or disease. Your physician will prescribe the appropriate therapy during your hospital stay.

A physical therapist assesses joint motion, muscle strength and endurance, function of heart and lungs, and performance of activities required in daily living, among other responsibilities.

An occupational therapist works with people of all ages who, because of illness, injury or other impairment, need specialized assistance in learning skills to enable them to lead independent, productive and satisfying lives.

Speech-language pathologists work with people who have speech or language impairment because of disease or injury.

Rehabilitation services are available 7 days a week in the hospital. Our facility also provides outpatient therapy at our office in the Samaritan Medical Plaza located at 125 E. Maxwell St., Suite 101, and at our satellite clinic located at 4071 Tates Creek Office Center, Suite 200.
